# unescape
`unescape` is used to decode `entity`, `html` and `htmlall`. It counters
the effects of the [escape modifier](language-modifier-escape.md) for the
given types.
## Basic usage
```smarty
{$myVar|unescape}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter Position | Type | Required | Possible Values | Default | Description |
|--------------------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | string | No | `html`, `htmlall`, `entity`, | `html` | This is the escape format to use. |
| 2 | string | No | `ISO-8859-1`, `UTF-8`, and any character set supported by [`htmlentities()`](https://www.php.net/htmlentities) | `UTF-8` | The character set encoding passed to html\_entity\_decode() or htmlspecialchars\_decode() or mb\_convert\_encoding() et. al. |
## Examples
```php
<?php
$smarty->assign('articleTitle',
"Germans use &quot;&Uuml;mlauts&quot; and pay in &euro;uro"
);
```
These are example `unescape` template lines followed by the output
```smarty
{$articleTitle}
Germans use &quot;&Uuml;mlauts&quot; and pay in &euro;uro
{$articleTitle|unescape:"html"}
Germans use "&Uuml;mlauts" and pay in &euro;uro
{$articleTitle|unescape:"htmlall"}
Germans use "Ümlauts" and pay in €uro
```
