Unicode Escape
Escape characters to \\uXXXX (and \\uXXXX\\uXXXX for surrogates) or unescape back to text.
Unicode escape / unescape
How it works
Escape: we replace each code point with \\uXXXX. Unescape: we parse \\uXXXX and replace.
When to use it
Use when generating code or dealing with Unicode in strings.
