Are you sure that's correct? As I thought 34 decimal was ".

Local $sString = "mer\u0034\u0034"
Local $aSRE = StringRegExp($sString, "\\u(\d+)", 3)
For $i = 0 To UBound($aSRE) - 1
    $sString = StringReplace($sString, "\u" & $aSRE[$i], ChrW(Int($aSRE[$i])))
Next
ConsoleWrite($sString & @CRLF)
ClipPut($sString)

Oh sorry, It should had been u00e4, it's hex value. But I will take a look at your example.

Where can I find such strange strings? It doesn't look like any standard format I have seen before. Did you invent it? - 'meru00e4u00e4'. BTW the exact referenced string can be encoded as ansi. It looks like a regular expression.

The following variant would appear to be more consistant.

'u006Du0065u0072u00E4u00E4'

Perhaps you (or someone) could enlighten me where this format is used.

Okay, thanks. Are the encodings actually mixed and matched like that - half ansi/half code points? I suppose they do more or less the same thing in html. The reason I was asking was to get a clearer picture.

'meru00e4u00e4' doesn't reveal enough information to assume rules of formatting, and the OP seemed to think people would already have a solution: indicating it was a recognized format. There would need to be a way to escape the backslash character - like there is in regexp.

It's initial BOM + Unicode (UTF-8 by default) + Unicode escapes in UTF16 and 2-character escapes similar to those in C. A backslash would be u005C or . It's a real mess where "extensions" are allowed, probably to increase the odds of non-interoperability and hidden bugs. It's no wonder since JSON means JavaScript Object Notation.

They even pooped an RFC.

Depending on the version pcre Jan Goyvaerts says:

 

"Perl and PCRE do not support the uFFFF syntax. They use x{FFFF} instead. You can omit leading zeros in the hexadecimal number between the curly braces."

so omitting the leading zeros what you have for:

merää

can be:

x6Dx65x72xE4xE4

but with something with two codepoints such as:

€

you can use the x{FFFF} format:

Local $sString = "€"
Local $aSRE = StringRegExp($sString, "\x{20AC}", 3)
For $i = 0 To UBound($aSRE) - 1
    ConsoleWrite($aSRE[$i] & @CRLF)
Next
