I have string "Fran%c3%a7ais". How can I convert it to correct "Français" ?

Answer 1

Try URLDecoder:

URLDecoder.decode(String s)

According to the Docs the function is deprecated, so you'll need to use this one:

public static String decode(String s, String enc) throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Example:

String decoded = URLDecoder.decode("Fran%c3%a7ais", "UTF-8");
