JSONImport does it.
If the escaped string is not in JSON format this function will wrap it in JSON
then let JSONImport do its thing.
put deEscape("Eduardo Ba\u00f1uls")
function deEscape pEscapedText
put "{'1':'**dummy**'}" into temp
replace "**dummy**" with pEscapedText in temp
replace "'" with quote in temp
put JSONImport(temp)into pArray
return pArray[1]
end deEscape
Roundabout but does the trick.
