URL Decode Unicode — Decode %E2%80%99 Style Sequences

FAQ
Why do Unicode characters have multiple %XX sequences?
UTF-8 encodes non-ASCII characters as 2-4 bytes. Each byte is percent-encoded separately. The letter e-acute (U+00E9) is 2 bytes: %C3%A9.
Can I decode emoji from URL encoding?
Yes. Emoji are 4-byte UTF-8 sequences. For example, the rocket emoji is %F0%9F%9A%80. The decoder handles all valid UTF-8 sequences.
