turning unicode into plain text

Dear unicode group:

Do I have to be very smart to ask a dumb question? Is it possible to 
make unicode readable?  I accidently deleted several messages from 
Yahoo messenger, after finally retrieving them, they came back with a 
*.hst extension and the text is unreadable. After a lot of reading 
and searching, it appears the script is unicode and other types of 
encoding.  What does Yahoo messenger use?  I have tried about six 
different zips and it appears these messages are not encrypted.  If 
anyone knows the answer to this question or needs more information, 
please let me know.  Thank-you, odiebadodie.  rschatz3@xxxxxxxxx
