Well, you can use the :s[ubstitute] command to convert the codes for
you. Let's see if I remember how I did it once, a year or two ago.
First, of course, you need a Vim compiled with +multi_byte running with
'encoding' set to utf-8. What follows will assume that you already use
that. If the editfile's disk representation is something else (such as
GB18030) that's no problem as long as 'fileencoding' is set correctly,
either by 'fileencodings' or by ++enc. But you know that, I'm sure.
:%s/\[\(\x\x\x\x\)?]/\=eval('"\u' . submatch(1) . '"')/g
I didn't test it today, so be ready to use undo if it doesn't work.
Also, the above assumes that your [xxxx?] codes always include exactly 4
hex digits, which implies no codepoint above U+FFFF (it should work
below U+1000 if leading zeros are included). UTF-16 surrogates are also
not handled.
Best regards,
Tony.
