C# String Escape and Unescape Tool for C# Developers
Use this C# string escape and unescape tool to prepare text for C# source code or restore readable characters from escaped content. Regular strings encode backslashes, quotes, control characters, and non-ASCII characters with C# escape sequences; verbatim strings double embedded quotes. Unescaping recognizes \uXXXX, \UXXXXXXXX, \xH…H, and named escapes. Paste or drop input, choose a direction, and copy the result.
This C# string escape and unescape tool helps you prepare text for C# code and make escaped content readable again. Paste or drop your input, choose whether to escape or unescape it, and copy the resulting text. It is useful when moving text between a readable form and a C# string representation.
For regular C# strings, escaping handles backslashes, quotation marks, and control characters such as null, alert, backspace, form feed, newline, carriage return, tab, and vertical tab. Non-ASCII characters are represented with \uXXXX or \UXXXXXXXX escapes. In verbatim C# strings, written with the @"…" form, inner quotation marks are doubled. Unescaping handles \uXXXX, \UXXXXXXXX, \xH…H, and named escapes.
C# string literals have different conventions for regular and verbatim strings, so the right representation depends on the literal you are preparing. Regular strings use escape sequences for special characters, while verbatim strings use doubled quotation marks. Converting escaped text back can also help when you need to inspect what a string represents rather than read its escape codes.
The tool runs entirely in your browser: your input is processed on your device and is not sent to a server. It is free and works offline after the page has loaded. Developers and DevOps engineers can use it to prepare source-code literals, inspect escaped text, and move between escaped and readable C# string content.
Step 1: Paste or drop your C# text into the tool. You can provide content to escape or already-escaped text to unescape.
Step 2: Choose whether to escape or unescape. The tool applies the relevant C# string handling to your input.
Step 3: Review the result in the context where you plan to use it. Regular strings and verbatim strings handle quotes differently.
Step 4: Copy the converted text. Paste it into your source code or use the unescaped characters wherever you need them.
Use case: Embed text inside another regular C# string without letting its backslashes or quotation marks break the literal.
Use case: Make a densely escaped C# string easier to read by unescaping its sequences back into characters.
Use case: Prepare a text value for pasting into C# source code, including escapes for control characters.
Use case: Represent non-ASCII characters with \uXXXX or \UXXXXXXXX escapes when preparing a regular C# string.
Use case: Check how quotation marks need to appear in a verbatim C# string, where inner quotes are doubled.
Use case: Convert C# escape sequences such as \n, \t, or \xH…H when reviewing a string copied from code.
