About This Tool
Logs, minified JavaScript, and HTML exports contain \u escapes, &#x; entities, and percent-encoded UTF-8 sequences that humans need rendered as readable characters for debugging. VSPIC unicode-decoder maps to generic-text client kind without active decode rules on unicode-decoder slug today.
Transform passthrough returns input unchanged. Use html-encoder-decoder decode mode for entities, decodeURIComponent for percent encoding, and JSON.parse on quoted JSON strings with escapes in console.

Decode layers
Percent encoding, HTML entities, and JSON \u are separate — decode outer layer first, inspect result, repeat.
generic-text passthrough
unicode-decoder lacks transformText decode rules.
html-encoder-decoder decode
&#x and &# decimal entities decode to characters in browser tool.
JSON unicode escapes
Wrap escapes in JSON string quotes and JSON.parse in console — invalid if bare \u sequence.
Relationship to unescape-string-tool
String unescape sibling also passthrough — language-specific unescape in IDE.
Mojibake diagnosis
Wrong charset decode produces mojibake — needs charset detection not this slug.
Client-side privacy
Log excerpts with user content stay local.
Future unicode decode handler
Registry may add escape format auto-detect client.

Important notes & limitations
- No automatic \u or U+ decode on slug.
