PHP can you convert unicode from within a string

I have a php string with the following

$string="Br\xFCtal"

Is it possible to convert the \xFC part to the correct special character?

I know this works

$string="\xFC";
echo utf8_encode($string);

but I don't know if it can be done as part of a string with other characters.

Thanks

If the encoded string is a literal encoding in JSON string, you could replace '\x' to unicode format '\u00'.

$string = '"Br\xFCtal"';
echo json_decode(str_replace('\x', '\u00', $string));

Output:

Brütal
