c# - Unicode characters string

Question

I have the following String of characters.

string s = "\u0625\u0647\u0644";

When I print the above sequence, I get:

u0625u0647u062

How can I get the real printable Unicode characters instead of this uxxxx representation?

I have found the answer:

s = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Unescape(s);

Answer 1

If you really don't control the string, then you need to replace those escape sequences with their values:

Regex.Replace(s, @"u([0-9A-Fa-f]{4})", m => ((char)Convert.ToInt32(m.Groups[1].Value, 16)).ToString());

and hope that you don't have \ escapes in there too.
