I have to convert unicode strings to normal strings.

for an example, convert this: "\u05e0\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05d5" to: "נירוו" (hebrew letters).

that's what i already tried:

        private string Convert(string S)
    {
        return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(new UnicodeEncoding().GetBytes(S));
    }

it returns wierd characters. for example: ��

How can i do it in c# ?

Thanks.

What is the original encoding? There are UTF8? UTF16? UTF32? – Eric J. Oct 14 '14 at 19:27
It's UniCode, and i want to convert it to normal characters. (hebrew letters) – user2153436 Oct 14 '14 at 19:28
There is more than one "UniCode" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode#Mapping_and_encodings – Eric J. Oct 14 '14 at 19:28
What does “from HTML” mean in the question title? I don’t see anything HTML-related in the question. – Jukka K. Korpela Oct 14 '14 at 20:11

I don't see any HTML anywhere. `"\u05e0\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05d5"` and `"נירוו"` are the exact same string, stop doing anything to them. Where do you see each of these strings? – Karol S Oct 14 '14 at 22:51
