Convert International String to \u Codes in java

Question

How can I convert an international (e.g. Russian) String to \\u numbers (unicode numbers)
e.g. \\u041e\\u041a for OK ?

Answer 1

There is an Open Source java library MgntUtils that has a Utility that converts Strings to unicode sequence and vise versa:

result = "Hello World";
result = StringUnicodeEncoderDecoder.encodeStringToUnicodeSequence(result);
System.out.println(result);
result = StringUnicodeEncoderDecoder.decodeUnicodeSequenceToString(result);
System.out.println(result);

The output of this code is:

\u0048\u0065\u006c\u006c\u006f\u0020\u0057\u006f\u0072\u006c\u0064
Hello World

The library can be found at Maven Central or at Github It comes as maven artifact and with sources and javadoc

Here is javadoc for the class StringUnicodeEncoderDecoder
