How to convert unicode char to its desire value

Question

As I am trying to convert the Beyonc\u00e9 and \u00f7 to Beyoncé and ÷(division) respectively.

I have used mb_convert_encoding and iconv methods but it's not working

echo mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-8');
echo iconv('utf-8', 'ascii//TRANSLIT',$str);


Beyoncé and ÷
