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.
