About this tool

What URL-encode Unicode does

This browser-based utility converts Unicode data to percent-encoded format for safe URL transmission. Paste or enter any string containing international characters, symbols, or emoji into the left text area, and the tool automatically generates the URL-escaped version on the right, replacing each character with its hexadecimal sequence prefixed by a percent sign. It supports major Unicode encodings including UTF-8, UTF-16, UCS-2, UTF-32, and UCS-4, making it suitable for embedding complex scripts and special symbols in web addresses. The output preserves the integrity of the original data when passing through web systems that might otherwise misinterpret or reject non-standard characters.
