I'm interested in unescaping text for example: \ maps to \ in C. Does anyone know of a good library?
As reference the Wikipedia List of XML and HTML Character Entity References.

Load the HTML data to decode from a file, then press the 'Decode' button: Browse: Alternatively, type or paste in the text you want to HTML–decode, then press the 'Decode' button.
HTML encoding converts characters that are not allowed in HTML into character-entity equivalents; HTML decoding reverses the encoding. For example, when embedded in a block of text, the characters < and > are encoded as < and > for HTTP transmission.
You have to use HTML character entities < and > in place of the < and > symbols so they aren't interpreted as HTML tags. Save this answer.
For another open source reference in C to decoding these HTML entities you can check out the command line utility uni2ascii/ascii2uni. The relevant files are enttbl.{c,h} for entity lookup and putu8.c which down converts from UTF32 to UTF8.
