As a general approach: 1) use offset() looking for "\x" (or you could use regex) to find the start 2) if the value returned by offset is not zero (call it tOS) put char tOS+2 to tOS+2 into tByte1 and char tOS+6 to tOS+7 into byte2 to get the 2 hex values 3) use the formula put baseConvert(byte1,16,10)*256+baseconvert(byte2,16,10) into tCodePoint 4) lastly put numToCodepoint(tCodePoint) into char tOS to tOS+7 of the original string
Off the top of my head and (obviously) not tested.
