It's not "converting", it is escaping.sorin– sorin2011-06-14 18:12:24 +00:00Commented Jun 14, 2011 at 18:12

What is the rule for deciding which character to escape? I mean, why not escape them all?Dialecticus– Dialecticus2011-06-14 18:55:23 +00:00Commented Jun 14, 2011 at 18:55

You're looking for something like the code below.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
string word = "mamá";
foreach (char c in word)
{
if (' ' <= c && c <= '~')
{
sb.Append(c);
}
else
{
sb.AppendFormat("\\U{0:X4}", (int)c);
}
}
string escapedWord = sb.ToString();
Or in a more compact way:
Func<char, string> escapeIfNecessary = c => (' ' <= c && c <= '~') ? c.ToString() : string.Format("\\U{0:X4}", (int)c);
escapedWord = string.Join("", word.Select(escapeIfNecessary).ToArray());
