How to convert %D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82 to Unicode in JS

Question

The main core of question is — I did not know what's the name of this type of string. I am getting output function strings in this format %D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82. I don't know what type of code is this. Tell me please how to convert it to Unicode in JavaScript. Actually this string is "Привет". Thank you.

Using decodeURIComponent()

The decodeURIComponent() function decodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component previously created by encodeURIComponent or by a similar routine.

var decodedStr = decodeURIComponent('%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82')
console.log(decodedStr);
