FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL encoding?
URLs can only contain safe characters. Others are replaced by a % followed by their hex code, like %20 for a space and %2F for a slash. Decoding restores the original text.
Does it handle emoji and non-ASCII?
Yes, it uses decodeURIComponent, which correctly decodes UTF-8 encoded characters including emoji and other scripts.
Is the decoded data private?
Completely — decoding happens locally in your browser with no network request.
