Decode MS Office double quote character?

I need to开发者_高级运维 decode and encode the MS Office double quote character. I used escape and unescape function in JavaScript to escape the MS Office double quote character but I couldn't use it in Java. How do I do this in Java?

• MS Office double quote: “
• Double quote got from keyboard: "

MS Office uses the valid and legitimate Unicode characters U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK (“) and U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK (”). Strictly speaking those are more correct, grammatically, than U+0022 QUOTATION MARK (").

Unless you're working with some legacy systems that don't support Unicode strings, replacing them should be trivial (for example using String.replace("“", "\"") in Java).
