Ali explained that "\uXXXX" is already UTF-8. But if you actually want to interpret such escape sequences from user input or some such, then find all occurrences, and for each of them do: * Drop the backslash and the 'u'. * Parse XXXX as a hexadecimal integer, and cast to dchar. * Use std.utf.encode to convert to UTF-8. std.conv.to can probably do it too, and possibly simpler, but would allocate. Also be aware of the longer variant with a capital U: \UXXXXXXXX (8 Xs)
