ASCII / Native Converter

In classic Java properties and similar setups, native2ascii turns local text into \uXXXX so resource files can be stored as pure ASCII. This tool offers the same two-way conversion for legacy i18n resources and escaped configs.

Use cases

Maintain i18n properties, read already-escaped Chinese configs, or move localized copy through ASCII-only pipelines. After input pauses, direction is detected automatically when possible.

Modern UTF-8 properties (common from Java 9+) often no longer require native2ascii, but the conversion is still frequent when inheriting older systems.

Tips

Back up the original before bulk replace so you do not break already-escaped fragments.
If the target is fully UTF-8, confirm you still need ASCII escapes at all.
