Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL encoding?

URL encoding (also called percent‑encoding) replaces unsafe ASCII and non‑ASCII characters with a `%` followed by two hexadecimal digits, making the string safe to transmit in a URL.

When would I need to decode a URL‑encoded string?

When you receive data from a web form, a query string, or a third‑party service that uses percent‑encoding and you need the original human‑readable text.

Does this handle Unicode characters like emoji or Chinese text?

Yes, the tool uses `encodeURIComponent`/`decodeURIComponent`, which work on UTF‑8 byte sequences—covering any Unicode character.
