problem with unicode. [modified]

[David1987]

And let me remind you, you are wrong. The OP did not specify that the number had to be in HEX, therefore it was not clear.

Richard's answer doesn't the question

Precisely, because I did not think the question was clear, and it had already received enough suggestions from other people. BTW I was not confused about the hex/decimal question; as you rightly pointed out the OP did not specify what the number format was.

Luc's first version of his second answer parsed it as decimal aswell IIRC

Wrong. I edited to improve the error checking, basically I added s==null || s.Length!=6 || s[0]!='\\' || s[1]!='U' to the if(...) throw statement. Now stop this silly dispute, none of us know exactly what the OP intended, as is often the case, unfortunately. That is why I ended up providing two different answers, assuming one of them would hit the actual question. :)
