title: How to convert escaped Unicode (e.g. \u0432\u0441\u0435) to UTF-8 chars (все) in Notepad++
body: <p>I have .properties files with a bunch of unicode escaped characters. I want to convert it to the correct chars display.</p>
  
  <pre><code>E.g.:
  
  Currently: \u0432\u0441\u0435 \u0433\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0432\u043e\u005c
  Desired result: все готово
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Notepad++ is already set to encode UTF8 without BOM. Opening the document and 'converting' (from the Encoding drop-down menu) doesn't do anything.</p>
  
  <p>How do I achieve this with notepad++?</p>
  
  <p>If not in Notepad++, is there any other way to do this for many files, perhaps by using some script?</p>
