I'm attempting to decode text which is prefixing certain 'special characters' with \x. I've worked out the following mappings by hand:
\x28 (
\x29 )
\x3a :
e.g. 12\x3a39\x3a03 AM
Does anyone recognise what this encoding is?
It's ASCII. All occurrences of the four characters \xST
are converted to 1 character, whose ASCII code is ST
(in hexadecimal), where S
and T
are any of 0123456789abcdefABCDEF
.
