Unescape protobuf text online


I have logged text from protobuf message that looks like this:

message: "\320\227\320\260\320\262\320\265\321\200\321\210\320\265\320\275\320\270\320\265 \321\201\320\262\321\217\320\267\320\270 \321\201 mzta1."

How can I unescape it to human readable text using any online tools, console, JS debug console, etc? Without programming.


Solution

  • It appears to be an octal escape sequence.

    Try en.web-tool.org/hex-oct-decode which decodes to "Завершение связи с mzta1." which appears to translate to "Terminating a connection"
