Converting "\u00F4" style characters

Hi,

I'm the author of PEARs I18Nv2 [1] module to which 
maintainance I kind of skittered into because I wanted 
to introduce a Win32/Linux independent setLocale().

Currently I want to utilze IBMs ICU resources [2] 
which encode unicode characters in the "\u00F4" way.

I already wrote a parser [3] for the ICU files, but 
searching the web I didn't find a cute way to 
convert these "\u00F4" characters.

Can anybody help out?

Thanks a lot,
mike
