Notes
A Unicode escape sequence is an escape sequence used to represent characters in the Unicode character set. In JavaScript, a Unicode escape sequence is represented by\ufollowed by four hexadecimal digits.
For example, the stringHellocan be represented as follows:
\u0048\u0065\u006c\u006c\u006f
This is a hexadecimal representation of each character's Unicode code point, and
the Unicode code points for each character are:
H: U+0048
e: U+0065
l: U+006C
l: U+006C
o: U+006F
Unicode escape sequences are useful especially when character encodings differ.
For example, when working with an HTML page that contains a UTF-8 encoded string, using Unicode escape sequences to represent Unicode characters can help avoid character encoding issues.
