Question

I am receiving unicode charactors in FB Graph requests for the user’s name..
How can i convert it to english in iOS app ?
Also is anything like this available in PHP as well ?

Answer 1

The best answer for this is to display his name in his language.

The best conversion It’s coming into my mind is using json_decode():

$name = '\u9648\u73ab\u7af9';
echo json_decode('"'.$name.'"');

I suggested json_decode() because it supports the \uxxxx syntax directly and other unicode or utf-8 characters.
