I tried this with a variety of messages, and it doesn't work with most unicode escaped string. For example, the unicode escaped string '\u044d\u0442\u043e \u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442 \u0441\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435' should unescape to 'это тест сообщение' but it unescapes to 'MB> B5AB A>>1I5=85' instead.
