How can i decode such html string to a normal html string

Your string is not quite right: it's missing a backslash at the start and the end is not terminated properly. Assuming you can fix that, you can then decode it as a JSON string. You should be able to use kotlinx.serialization, but for a single use it's easier to use the command-line utility `jq`:

jq -r <<<'"\u003Cblockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:316px\" \u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"<https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1cy5g53/why_pwas_have_not_taken_over_and_they_ever_will/>\"\u003EWhy PWAs have not taken over and they ever will?\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E (etc)"'

(The above is a Bash command line. Modify as appropriate to whatever you're using.)
