I have a string like this "\x27\x18\xf6,\x03\x12\x8e\xfa\xec\x11\x0dHL" when i put it in browser console, it automatically becomes something else: "\x27\x18\xf6,\x03\x12\x8e\xfa\xec\x11\x0dHL" "'ö,úìHL" if I do chatAt(x) over this string, I get: "\x27\x18\xf6,\x03\x12\x8e\xfa\xec\x11\x0dHL".charAt(0) "'" "\x27\x18\xf6,\x03\x12\x8e\xfa\xec\x11\x0dHL".charAt(1) "" "\x27\x18\xf6,\x03\x12\x8e\xfa\xec\x11\x0dHL".charAt(2) "ö" which IS what I want. Now I want to implement a Java program that reads the string the same way as in browser. The problem is, Java does not recognize the way this string is encoded. Instead, it treats it as a normal string: "\\x27\\x18\\xf6,\\x03\\x12\\x8e\\xfa\\xec\\x11\\x0dHL".charAt(0) == '\' "\\x27\\x18\\xf6,\\x03\\x12\\x8e\\xfa\\xec\\x11\\x0dHL".charAt(1) == 'x' "\\x27\\x18\\xf6,\\x03\\x12\\x8e\\xfa\\xec\\x11\\x0dHL".charAt(2) == '2' What kind of encoding this string is encoded? What kind of encoding uses prefix \x ? Is there a way to read it properly (get the same result as in browser)? update: I found a solution -> i guess it is not the best, but it works for me: StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava("\\x27\\x18\\xf6,\\x03\\x12\\x8e\\xfa\\xec\\x11\\x0dHL".replace("\\x", "\\u00")) thank you all for your replies :) especially Ricardo Cacheira Thank you
