Convert Unicode characters from a Twitter JSON API feed using ColdFusion

Question

I'm trying to use the Twitter API to pull statuses from list APIs using ColdFusion and parse everything I need, just using the JSON format and the JSON component.

The problem I am facing is trying to convert Unicode characters so that they display correctly on the screen.

here is an example of the data that comes from the JSON feed

F\u00e0bregas

Is there any regex that I could use to convert it?

I am currently writing raw data from a JSON feed

#node.user.name#

Which is good, but it contains \ u00e0, which I need to convert so that it displays as Fàbregas with the correct accent over 'a'.

<cfset y = 'F\u00e0bregas'/>
<cfset x = evaluate(de(rereplace(y,'\\u([a-fA-f0-9]{4})','##chr(inputbasen(''\1'',16))##','all')))/>
