When handling multilingual text or special characters, encoding issues often lead to garbled text or transmission errors. This tool uses the UTF-8 encoding scheme (a variable-length byte encoding method that maps Unicode characters to 1-4 byte sequences) to enable two-way conversion between text and various encoding formats, including Escape (\x), Percent-encoding (%XX), Hexadecimal (0xXX), Unicode escape (\uXXXX), and formats with a BOM (Byte Order Mark).
Q: What is the difference between UTF-8 encoding and Unicode?
A: Unicode is a character set standard that assigns a unique code point to each character. UTF-8 is an encoding scheme that translates these code points into 1 to 4 bytes.
Q: How can I identify a UTF-8 file with a BOM?
A: If the file header contains the byte sequence EF BB BF, it has a BOM (Byte Order Mark).
Non-UTF-8 input may result in garbled text. The BOM mode is only recommended for file storage. When URL encoding, spaces are converted to %20 by default.
The Chinese character "中" (Unicode U+4E2D) corresponds to the byte sequence 0xE4 0xB8 0xAD in UTF-8 encoding. When debugging APIs, it is recommended to use percent-encoding to ensure the safe transmission of special characters.
