The required charString argument is a String object or literal to be decoded.

The unescape method returns a string value that contains the contents of charstring. All characters encoded with the %xx hexadecimal form are replaced by their ASCII character set equivalents.

Characters encoded in %uxxxx format (Unicode characters) are replaced with the Unicode character with hexadecimal encoding xxxx.

Note:
The unescape method should not be used to decode Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). Use decodeURI and decodeURIComponent methods instead.
