DecodeURIComponent is not supporting for %uXXXX encoded component

DecodeURIComponent is not supporting for few encoded component

I am sending JD with bulletin format in my json , in restapi . So I am encoding the jd and sending. this works properly without any issues.But when I am trying to decode the encoded JD , I am getting error as URI malformed

var jd = "Where are bullets most often used?

 - Technical writing
 - Reference works
 - Notes
 - Presentations";


var json ={
"job":encodeURIComponent(escape(jd));

}

Decoding :

var jd = decodeURIComponent(jd);

thi is my encoded jd I am getting from response.

Solution

  • you have to unescape it first

    var jd = decodeURIComponent(unescape(json.job));
