C# - How to decode UTF-8 String to Normal Strings or Emoji [duplicate]

Question

I storing my messages as utf-8 to preserve emoji but how do I decode it again and show its original form This is the Sample Message - %e2%9c%8c

  String result = java.net.URLDecoder.decode(contacts.getYourmessage(), "UTF-8");

There are search engines Google, Bing,... try them out before asking like bing.com/search?q=c%23+decode+percent+encoded+utf8 or even bing.com/search?q=c%23%+equivalent+of+java+URLDecoder — Alexei Levenkov

This is the Sample Message - %e2%9c%8c

It is url-encoded string. So you can

var str = WebUtility.UrlDecode("%e2%9c%8c");

which returns ✌

This is for swift:

var str = "%e2%9c%8c"
print(str.removingPercentEncoding)

Optional("✌")
