C# Hexadecimal to char

Question

I have a hexidecimal string with a length of 4, such as \"003a\".

What is the best way to convert this into a char? First convert to bytes and then to char?

Answer 1

In 2020 I'd do it like this

char c = (char)0x3A;

If I needed it to be a string for use in removing a non-printable character, it would be like this

s = s.Replace($"{(char)0x3A}", ""));
