Those are JavaScript escape sequences. If you’re reading raw JS string literals out of the page, you need to decode all the escapes, which are like the C ones plus \uxxxx.

This isn’t anything to do with NSString; NSJSONSerialization could probably decode it since JSON string syntax is based on JS.
