It looks like a URL-encoded (percent-encoded) string with two levels:
- %25 is the encoding for the percent sign (%), so %2527 becomes %27, and %2522 becomes %22 when decoded once.
- If you decode twice, %27 becomes ' (apostrophe) and %22 becomes " (double quote).
So decoding twice gives something like 555'"
The "" characters look like a charset/encoding mismatch (likely the original bytes were UTF-8 but rendered as something else). If you know the original text or the correct encoding, I can help reconstruct it.
Quick ways to decode yourself:
- In Python:
- import urllib.parse
- s = "555%2527%2522\'\""
- print(urllib.parse.unquote(urllib.parse.unquote(s)))
- In JavaScript:
- decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent("555%2527%2522\'\""));
If you can share the source or what the final text should be, I’ll fix the exact characters for you.
