Description
I had to roll my own Ӓ to \u1234 converter.

It would be nice if it could just render it directly without a manual conversion by the programmer

The use case is things like twitter feeds or RSS feeds where asian languages come in and are directly rendered to screen (see screenshot)

same as RT-2160...

This can be done as part of RT-2160

The HTML encoded values I pull down from the net. (Ignore the NPEs)

Final result, once I've done my conversion.
