I also had this problem  I had some Portuguese text with some special characters  but these characters where already in unicode format  ex    u00e3    So I want to convert S u00e3o to S  o   I did it using the apache commons StringEscapeUtils  As  sorin-sbarnea said  Can be downloaded here   Use the method unescapeJava  like this   String text    S u00e3o  text   StringEscapeUtils unescapeJava text   System out println  text     text      There is also the method escapeJava  but this one puts the unicode characters in the string    If any one knows a solution on pure Java  please tell us

There s a command-line tool that ships with java called native2ascii  This converts unicode files to ASCII-escaped files  I ve found that this is a necessary step for generating  properties files for localization

Just some basic Methods for that  inspired from native2ascii tool           Encode a String like        to  u00e4 u00f6 u00fc         param text     return     public String native2ascii String text        if  text    null          return text      StringBuilder sb   new StringBuilder        for  char ch   text toCharArray              sb append native2ascii ch              return sb toString              Encode a Character like    to  u00e4         param ch     return     public String native2ascii char ch        if  ch  gt    u007f             StringBuilder sb   new StringBuilder               write  udddd         sb append    u            StringBuffer hex   new StringBuffer Integer toHexString ch            hex reverse            int length   4 - hex length            for  int j   0  j  lt  length  j                  hex append  0                      for  int j   0  j  lt  4  j                  sb append hex charAt 3 - j                      return sb toString          else           return Character toString ch

There are three parts to the answer   Get the Unicode for each character Determine if it is in the Cyrillic Page Convert to Hexadecimal    To get each character you can iterate through the String using the charAt   or toCharArray   methods   for  char c   s toCharArray       The value of the char is the Unicode value    The Cyrillic Unicode characters are any character in the following ranges   Cyrillic             U 0400   U 04FF   1024 -  1279  Cyrillic Supplement  U 0500   U 052F   1280 -  1327  Cyrillic Extended-A  U 2DE0   U 2DFF  11744 - 11775  Cyrillic Extended-B  U A640   U A69F  42560 - 42655    If it is in this range it is Cyrillic  Just perform an if check  If it is in the range use Integer toHexString   and prepend the    u   Put together it should look something like this   final int     ranges   new int                  1024   1279                1280   1327               11744  11775               42560  42655           StringBuilder b   new StringBuilder     for  char c   s toCharArray          int   insideRange   null      for  int   range   ranges            if  range 0   lt   c  amp  amp  c  lt   range 1                 insideRange   range              break                       if  insideRange    null            b append     u    append  Integer toHexString c          else          b append  c             return b toString        Edit  probably should make the check c  lt  128 and reverse the if and the else bodies  you probably should escape everything that isn t ASCII  I was probably too literal in my reading of your question
