title: Decode Ascii string values from reverse-engineered lua file
body: <p>I decompiled a <strong>lua</strong> file with unluac and it turns out all the string variables are not readable and are instead <code>ascii encoded</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>clues = {
    {
      answer = {
        "\216\173",
        "\216\177",
        "\216\168",
        "\216\167",
        "\216\161"
      },
      text = "\216\173\217\138\217\136\216\167\217\134\032\216\178\216\167\216\173\217\129\032\217\138\216\186\217\138\216\177\032\217\132\217\136\217\134\032\216\172\217\132\216\175\217\135",
      syllables = {
        {"\216\173", "\216\177"},
        {"\216\168", "\216\167"},
        {"\216\161"}
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do i go about decoding the whole file <code>ignoring any non ascii characters</code> in python or java?</p>
