Advanced tools

You'll need to have at least Node.js 8 or newer.
escapeUnicode(input[, start][, end])Converts all characters within input to Unicode escapes.
Optionally, a start index can be provided to begin conversion at a specific location within input. If start is not
specified, null, or negative, the conversion will begin at the start of input.
Similarly, an end index can be provided to stop conversion at a specific location within input. If end is not
specified, null, or negative, the conversion will stop at the end of input.
const escapeUnicode = require('escape-unicode');
escapeUnicode('♥');
//=> "\\u2665"
escapeUnicode('I ♥ Unicode!');
//=> "\\u0049\\u0020\\u2665\\u0020\\u0055\\u006e\\u0069\\u0063\\u006f\\u0064\\u0065\\u0021"
escapeUnicode('I ♥ Unicode!', 2, 3);
