Dear Members!

A web developer stores JSON like strings in a text column.

With E prefix we can get the real text:

Select E'Az ad\u00f3kulcsonk\u00e9nti'

Hungarian: "Az adókulcsonkénti" (ISO-8859-2)

How to get the same result from a table column?

select WhatAFunction( ATable.JSONLikeTextColumn) from ATable

What function do we need to use to "simulate" E prefix?

Thank you for the help!

Best regards
