Is there a command line tool or online service that can convert javascript unicode notation code to utf-8?

E.g. I got this json code, but it is hard to edit in common text editor.

{"name":"leon zhang","city":"\u4e0a\u6d77"}

I want to convert it to:

{"name":"leon zhang","city":"上海"}

  • I found a online tool, http://www.rishida.net/tools/conversion/ . It can convert unicode notation code to lots of formats. Another way is just post that content to Chrome developer console, broswer will convert it and display it in utf-8. – Leon May 18 '12 at 01:41

You use the below javascript function to convert unicode to utf-8

function encode_utf8( s ){
    return unescape( encodeURIComponent( s ) );
}( '\u4e0a\u6d77' )

You can also try it out in firebug console. It works.

          </tr>
        </table>
    </body>
    </html>

This is a sample of convert utf-8 to unicode, do it in turn.
