Very nice work, but you should "typecast" the parameters to be a string (I used it to decode url parameter values and when it happend to be an id or similar it was interpreted as an integer and therefor ´replace´ failed with unknown function error). You can also chain the the replace calls... you can see it in my fork:

@MarcelloDiSimone, good idea, though probably better to type-check than silently coerce (users can explicitly coerce if they wish). Thx.
Hi: what would be the license for this code?
Hi, This is a brilliant piece of code. I have a string of octal representation of the utf8string like("\320\223...") that I want to decode to unicode String.. How do I do that..?
Hi, nice work, but you don't handle Codepoints above 'U+FFFF' correctly, see https://github.com/TSlivede/utf8-regex-encode-decode-js/
@DhamoR If your String only contains ASCII and octal UTF-8 sequences you can do this:
str="\\320\\223...";
Utf8Decode(str.replace(/\\[0-9][0-9][0-9]/g,function(s){return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(s.substr(1),8));}))
If your string can already contain UTF-16 chars you need to first encode those into UTF-8:
str="\\320\\223"+String.fromCodePoint(0x1F60E)+"...";
Utf8Decode(Utf8Encode(str).replace(/\\[0-9][0-9][0-9]/g,function(s){return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(s.substr(1),8));}))
this does not support emoji :(
Excellent work !
Sorry, touch of a newbie question here. When I try to use the code, I get errors on lines 22/43 with the function(c); call. Can someone tell me where to get this piece of code? Thanks!
I need to make it url by adding -
muito bom.
THANK YOU!! Was looking for a JS solution to decoding UTF-8 special characters for a couple hours...!
