What stumped me for a bit was that there was a null byte between each character (IIRC). Maybe it was some kind of Unicode encoding or specific to Facebook, I have no clue. But if just searching the string doesn't find it, look around in the dump for other strings and how they're "transformed" for a hint on what to search for exactly.

Probably using UTF-16 to make interop with javascript easier.
