C# Escape sequence for unicode currency symbols
<p>I'm storing a list of currencies, with exchange rates etc. in my database (Ms SQL).</p>

<p>I also store the unicode representation of the currency symbol, so for e.g. Czech Republic, Koruny I have <code>"\u004b\u010d"</code> stored in an nvarchar(50) column.</p>

<p>When I load the list of currencies from the database, it has changed to escape sequence to this: <code>"\\u004b\\u010d"</code>.</p>

<p>Is there any way easier than stripping away \u, parsing the remaining part to an Int32 using System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber, type casting that to a char and displaying the char?</p>
