Encodes strings so they can be read on all computers. Deprecated.
escape(charString)
The required charString argument is any String object or literal to be encoded.
The escape function returns a string value (in Unicode format) that contains the contents of charstring. All spaces, punctuation, accented characters, and any other non-ASCII characters are replaced with %xx encoding, where xx is equivalent to the hexadecimal number representing the character. For example, a space is returned as "%20."
Characters with a value greater than 255 are stored using the %u xxxx format.
Note
The escape function should not be used to encode Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). Use encodeURI and encodeURIComponent functions instead.
