escape-unicode is a Node.js library that can convert Unicode characters into their corresponding Unicode escapes ("\uxxxx" notation).
Install
Install using npm:
$ npm install --save escape-unicode
You'll need to have at least Node.js 8 or newer.
API
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.
Examples
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);
//=> "\\u2665"
