Convert regex to special characters

I have a url that would contain something like this:

%5B%7B%22field%22%3A%22Site+Code%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2245%22%7D%2C%7B%22field%22%3A%22textarea-1%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%22%7D%2C%7B%22field%22%3A%22Serial+%23%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2223%22%7D%5D%26SiteID%3D1%3B

I'm taking in the url as a string and would like to convert all the regex to special characters. Is there any way to do this? The regex is not limited to just this. I need to take into account all instances in which regex could show up in the string, and replace it with the corresponding special character.

Since there are so many special characters you will need to account for, and in regex you will have to replace each one seperately, I do not think that regex is the best solution to this issue. A better solution is available here: How to do URL decoding in Java?
