All characters in string are escaped

Question

Can someone help me understand what kind of encoding (escape) was used to convert "f4adece2-6cc1-4adf-8740-8f71cdabd24b" to '\\146\\64\\141\\144\\145\\143\\145\\62\\55\\66\\143\\143\\61\\55\\64\\141\\144\\146\\55\\70\\67\\64\\60\\55\\70\\146\\67\\61\\143\\144\\141\\142\\144\\62\\64\\142'

Given '\\146\\64\\141\\144\\145\\143\\145\\62\\55\\66\\143\\143\\61\\55\\64\\141\\144\\146\\55\\70\\67\\64\\60\\55\\70\\146\\67\\61\\143\\144\\141\\142\\144\\62\\64\\142' how do I get back to my original string?

Answer 1

After each backslash, convert any following digits to decimal. Encode as a single character with that ASCII value.
