Unicode characters from JSON.stringify to real unicode characters

It seems facebook saves unicode strings in this format:

\u10d8\u10de\u10dd\u10d5\u10d4\u10d7 \u10de\u10d0\u10e1\u10e3\u10ee\u10d8 \u10dc\u10d4\u10d1\u10d8\u10e1\u10db\u10d8\u10d4\u10e0 \u10d9\u10d8\u10d7\u10ee\u10d5\u10d0\u10d6\u10d4!

How can I convert it back to readable string?

The Facebook Graph API returns JSON and the tool to use to make sense of that in PHP is json_decode().

$json = file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/Answersge');
$data = json_decode($json, true);
echo $data['company_overview']; // Outputs: იპოვეთ პასუხი ნებისმიერ კითხვაზე!
