Good afternoon,
I am attempting to read some .pdfs, but instead of getting normal text like usual, I have a stubborn one that is giving me character codes. I think they are unicode but am not 100% sure. I have been digging stackoverflow.com for over an hour and can only find partial answers. I am not even sure I am phrasing the question correctly.
Here is the string the .pdf is giving me.
I believe Visual Studio is adding the opening and closing quotes since I copy/pasted from the ide.
What format is that and how can you help me get it into a regular text string?

Code:
"\u0001\u0002\u0003\u0004\u0005\u0006\a\u0002\u0003\a\u0003\b\t\n"
"\a\v\u0001\f\v\f\u0004\u0001\a"
