Java equivalent to unencode function in javascript to parse escaped unicode

I've trouble parsing tweets which are represented as escaped unicode some found to be foreign language strings e.g \u064a\u0633\u0639\u062f\u0646\u064a

Using org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.

String s="\\u0048\\u0065\\u006C\\u006C\\u006F";
System.out.println(StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava(s));

P.S. Oops, I didn't refresh this page before I post the answer, the comments above conveys the same thing.
