How to decode a Unicode character in a string

Question

How do I decode this string 'Sch\u00f6nen' (@"Sch\u00f6nen") in C#, I've tried HttpUtility but it doesn't give me the results I need, which is "Schönen".

Answer 1

Regex.Unescape did the trick:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Unescape(@"Sch\u00f6nen"); 

_{Note that you need to be careful when testing your variants or writing unit tests: "Sch\u00f6nen" is already "Schönen". You need @ in front of string to treat \u00f6 as part of the string.}
