title: Javascript \x escaping
body: <p>I've seen a few other programs that have something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var string = '\x32\x20\x60\x78\x6e\x7a\x9c\x89';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I had to try to fiddle with the numbers and letters, to find the text I wanted to display.<br>
  I'm wondering if there is a function to find the <code>\x</code> escape of a string, like <code>string.toUpperCase()</code> in JS. I'm using <a href="/questions/tagged/processing" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;processing&#39;" rel="tag">processing</a>JS, but it will be okay for me to use other programming languages to find the ASCII for <code>\x</code>.</p>
