Replacing Java unicode encodings with actual characters

When I make web queries, for accented characters, I get special character encodings back as strings such as "\u00f3" , but I need to replace it with the actual character, like "ó" before making another query.

How would I find these cases without actually looking for each one, one by one?

It seems you're handling JSON formatted data.

Use any of the many freely available JSON libraries to handle this (and other parsing issues) for you instead of trying to do it manually.

The one from JSON.org is pretty widely used, but there are surely others that work just as well.
