How can I convert UTF8 string to arabic?
Actually my game contains arabic language. I get the string "\u0639\u0632\u0648\u0632 \u0627\u0646\u062f\u062c\u0627\u0646\u064a" from server. I need to convert it into arabic. I am using this code:
byte[] _data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes( Target );
string _temp = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString ( _data );
byte[] _data1 = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes ( _temp );
return System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString ( _data1 );
where target is the string received from server. Please help!!!
Here is the solution I found online. It worked for me. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1615559/converting-unicode-strings-to-escaped-ascii-string
static string DecodeEncodedNonAsciiCharacters( string value ) {
return Regex.Replace(
value,
@"\\u(?<Value>[a-fA-F0-9]{4})",
m => {
return ((char) int.Parse( m.Groups["Value"].Value, NumberStyles.HexNumber )).ToString();
} );
}
Hope it helps!

Uhm, that's the same link i posted in my answer...
Also make sure you read the comment below that answer on StackOverflow. The regular expression should be @"\\u(?<Value>[a-fA-F0-9]{4})" since only hex characters are allowed.
You actually shouldn't do anything with encoding since the encoding classes are only responsible for character to byte and byte to character conversion. What you have in your string is just an "escaped" string.
You have to unescape it manually, that's all. Uri.UnescapeDataString is said to work as well.
@tanuj0092:
Uhm, why did you downvote my answer? Any reason? If your string literally contains such escaped sequences you need to unescape them to get unicode characters. If your actual string contains unicode you don't have to do anything since C# supports unicode characters. As long as you use a font that supports your characters everything should be fine.
By downvoting without a comment / reason you won't get friends here... I did not downvote your question, you can check my activity log.
@Bunny83: Hey man! I didn't purposefully. I realized it late when nothing can be undone! I do know you didn't down vote this question.
Regarding the question, I was able to achieve it by simple stringify algorithm.
