Simple Question Unicode HexString to CharArray

Just like to say this is built in .Net and works automatically..

string encoded = "\u472A\u4F2C\u432E\u6430\u4032\u5034\u4536";


turns to a bunch of bytes like 472A,4F2C and results in a string
䜪伬䌮搰䀲倴䔶

unicode characters a bunch of chinese letters and boxes alright

sounds like my problem is solved right? but nope.. I want to be able to change these at will.. from a textbox..

so put inside textbox "\u472A\u4F2C\u432E\u6430\u4032\u5034\u4536" this.. without quotes

and I try

string encoded = encoded.Text;

what do I get? a bunch of crap.. like \u472a\u4F2C..

my question is how do I evaluate the data.. like make it compile at runtime like .NET does to string datatype.


I've searched all over google can't find jack.

must be possible.. without going threw the trouble of using a loop and buffering the input letter by letter.
