Print string literal unicode as the actual character

In my Java application I have been passed in a string that looks like this:

"\u00a5123"

When printing that string into the console, I get the same string as the output (as expected).

However, I want to print that out by having the unicode converted into the actual yen symbol (\u00a5 -> yen symbol) - how would I go about doing this?

i.e. so it looks like this: "[yen symbol]123"
