how do i convert it to a readable string? (note this is supposed to be hebrew)

i tried this method but it didnt work

byte[] bytes = s.getBytes();
String decoded = new String(bytes); 
System.out.println(decoded);

Answer 1

All U should be lowercase u:

    String s = "\u05d0\u05d5\u05d2\u05e0\u05d3\u05d4";

    try{

        byte[] bytes   = s.getBytes();
        String decoded = new String(bytes); 

        System.out.println(decoded);

    } catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e) {      
        // ...  
    }

See Byte Encodings and Strings.
