C# and character decoding

Question

I have a string \u0025A3\u0025A3... e.t.c. So how can I decode that to normal view in C#.

I mean sequence \u0025A3\u0025A3 should looks in decoded mode. For example, the \u0025A3\u0025A3 sequence should looks like "::".

Thanks.

Are these Unicode Escape Sequences? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa664669(v=vs.71).aspx If so, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/183907/how-do-convert-unicode-escape-sequences-to-unicode-characters-in-a-net-string — Ian Mercer, Jan 27 '11 at 07:36

The Unicode characters in your string are above \uFFFF so they will display as "?" in the default windows character set, or a "" in some apps. Try this anyway.

string test = "\\u0025A3\\u0025A3";
Regex rx = new Regex(@"\\[uU]([0-9A-F]{6})");
test = rx.Replace(test, match => char.ConvertFromUtf32(int.Parse(match.ToString().Substring(2), NumberStyles.HexNumber)));
