This browser-based utility converts Unicode data to URL-encoding. Anything that you paste or enter in the text area on the left automatically gets URL-escaped on the right. It supports the most popular Unicode encodings (such as UTF-8, UTF-16, UCS-2, UTF-32, and UCS-4) and it works with emoji characters. You can select one of the predefined URL-escaping methods or use a custom URL-encoding scheme by entering Unicode characters that should (or shouldn't) get escaped.

This utility URL-escapes Unicode characters. The URL-encoding, also known as URI-escaping, is a mechanism for embedding information in Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). It's sometimes called percent-encoding because it replaces characters with a sequence of one or more %XX values, where XX are the byte values in hexadecimal base that represent the symbol. For example, the ampersand character "&" escapes to "%26" in UTF-8 encoding and "%00%26" in UTF-16-BE (Big Endian) encoding. We have implemented several URL-encoding methods. The first one is equivalent to JavaScript's "escape()" function that converts 26 reserved characters "<space>!"#$%&'(),:;<=>?[\]^`{|}~" to escape sequences. The second one is "encodeURI()" function that converts 13 reserved characters "<space>"%<>[\]^`{|}". The third one is "encodeURIComponent()" that converts converts 24 reserved characters "<space>"#$%&+,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}". The fourth is "Alphanumeric + Underscore" that converts all Unicode glyphs to URL-encoding, except small and capital ASCII letters, numbers, and the underscore character. The fifth one is "Escape All Symbols" that, as the name suggests, escapes absolutely all characters. You can also configure which characters to escape and which not to by selecting one of the "Custom" encodings. If you select the "Custom (Encode These Symbols)" option, then all characters entered below it will be converted to URL-encoding and all other characters will be left unchanged. If you select the "Custom (Skip These Symbols)" option, then all characters except those entered below it will be percent-encoded. You can output the escape sequence not only in ASCII and UTF8 encodings but also in UTF-16, UTF-32, UCS-2, and UCS-4, including the Big Endian and Little Endian byte order formats. In this case, the tool first turns the input Unicode into the desired encoding format and then converts the raw bytes into a URL-encoded sequence. Optionally, a BOM (Byte Order Mark) can be prepended to the escaped text that shows the Unicode encoding and the data byte order. You can also use quick and convenient options that allow you to preserve spaces, tabs, and newlines in the output, as well as choose the digit case for the output hex values.

This example uses a Coco Chanel's quote written in the Math-monospace Unicode font. It selects the "Encode All Symbols" option that percent-encodes all input characters, including spaces, quotation marks, and newline symbols. The output encoding is UTF16 Little Endian that uses pairs %XX%XX or quadruples %XX%XX%XX%XX of bytes for each character. The output is printed as a continuous percent-escaped string with lowercase hexadecimal digits.
In this example, we URL-encode a URI that contains several special Unicode characters. We use the "EncodeURIComponent" escape method and the UTF-8 encoding. Before the escape method is applied, the input data is converted to raw UTF-8 bytes and the unreserved symbols (letters and dots) are printed as-is but the reserved symbols are printed as %XX.
This example converts to URI-encoding only three glyphs: the dollar bill emoji "💵", the en dash "–", and the dot "." symbol. All other banknotes (Yen, Euro, British Pound) and characters (including line breaks) remain unchanged. This is accomplished by choosing a Custom encoding scheme and entering the three glyphs in the custom characters field. For the conversion, it uses the UCS-2 encoding and displays the bytes in the Big Endian format.
In this example, we enable the Alphanumeric + Underscore encoding function and escape a list of Chinese zodiacs. In this encoding method, the lowercase and uppercase letters of the Latin alphabet, as well as the underscore "_" symbol are left untouched and all other letters/symbols are encoded. We also activate the "Preserve Newlines" option to save the format of lines. As a result, only the twelve Chinese zodiac emojis are turned into a UCS-4 Big Endian URI-escaped sequences.
In this example, we encode a table that shows which foods have proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. We convert the table to UTF-8 encoding and use the "Custom (Skip These Symbols)" URL-escaping method. This method encodes all symbols, except the ones specified in the custom symbols field. In the field of non-encoded symbols, we write all lowercase letters and two Unicode characters: "✓" and "✗". We also select the options that skip spaces, tabs, and newlines from being encoded. Thus, in the output, only the food emoticons and capital letters get encoded.
In this example, we URI-escape a phrase from the Ice Age cartoon. We select the "JavaScript Escape" method for doing it, which means that characters like quotes, spaces, colon marks, and commas are all converted to escape sequences. The output is in UTF-32 encoding, using the Little Endian byte-order format, including the BOM mark %ff%fe.
