It’s not immediate clear what you mean when you say “to ō”. If you’re asking how to convert it into a different encoding then a general approach is to use the iconv function. 014D is the UCS-2 (unicode) for your desired function so, if you have a string containing the bytes 014D you could use
to convert from UCS-2 to UTF-8. Similarly if you want to convert to a different encoding – although you need to be aware that not all encodings will include the character you are using. You’ll see from the iconv documentation that the //TRANSLIT option may help in that case.
Note that iconv is taking a byte sequence so, if you actually have a string containing a slash, then a u, then a 0 etc… you’ll need to convert that into the byte sequence first.
