Convert text to Unicode strings

Question

I need to process JSON files that look like this:

\u0432\u043b\u0430\u0434\u043e\u043c <b>\u043f\u0443\u0442\u0438\u043c<\/b> \u043d\u0430\u0447 

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what this encoding is called.

I would like to convert it to .NET Unicode strings. What is the way to alleviate this?

Answer 1

These are Unicode characters for the Russian alphabet. try just putting this line in VisualStudio and parse it.

 string unicodeString = "\u0432\u043b\u0430\u0434\u043e\u043c"; 

Or if you want to convert this string to another encoding, for example utf8, try this code:

 static void Main() { string unicodeString = "\u0432\u043b\u0430\u0434\u043e\u043c <b>\u043f\u0443\u0442\u0438\u043c<\b> \u043d\u0430\u0447"; // Create two different encodings. Encoding utf8 = Encoding.UTF8; Encoding unicode = Encoding.Unicode; // Convert the string into a byte[]. byte[] unicodeBytes = unicode.GetBytes(unicodeString); // Perform the conversion from one encoding to the other. byte[] utf8Bytes = Encoding.Convert(unicode, utf8, unicodeBytes); // Convert the new byte[] into a char[] and then into a string. // This is a slightly different approach to converting to illustrate // the use of GetCharCount/GetChars. char[] asciiChars = new char[utf8.GetCharCount(utf8Bytes, 0, utf8Bytes.Length)]; utf8.GetChars(utf8Bytes, 0, utf8Bytes.Length, asciiChars, 0); string asciiString = new string(asciiChars); // Display the strings created before and after the conversion. Console.WriteLine("Original string: {0}", unicodeString); Console.WriteLine("Ascii converted string: {0}", asciiString); Console.ReadKey(); }
