Convert Unicode to UTF8?

You appear to be trying to normalize your input, probably in Unicode Normal Form C. I do not know of any simple way to do this in Javascript; you may need to implement the normalization algorithm yourself, or find a library which does so.

I actually get the string as "tést". It is only upon running escape() on it that I can see that the é is encoded with the %u unicode code point. I need to somehow convert the encoding of the string in such a way that running escape() on it produces the %C3 encoding instead.

I apologize that I don't know the correct terminology for the final encoding that I need. I essentially still need the string to be "tést", but I need the é to encoded differently. Does that make sense?

I tried running your code, but it just converted it around in a circle back to the same thing I had before. – Jake Apr 15 at 18:44 @Jake Ah, OK. I was mistaken in what you were trying to do.It sounds like you are actually just trying to normalize your strings in Normal Form C, not escape or unescape them (you were just using that to demonstrate what actual codepoints occurred in the string).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
