Anyone out there find a way to parse a string with unicode characters into a regular utf8 string? So input: "%u041c%u0438%u0445" etc. output: a ruby string that displays in foreign characters I''ve seen lots of posts online but none of them has worked, and it seems like there should be a quick shortcut for this kind of thing.
