x = 'm\\u00b3/h';
x.replace(/\/\//g, "") // should output m\u00b3/h
Also, if you want to convert unicode to HTML, use this
x = 'm\\u00b3/h';
JSON.parse('"' + x + '"') // Should output 'm³/h'

That extra \ it's just to escape that special character from JSON. If you're using a JSON library, it will escape it automatically.
If not you can use this:
('m\\u00b3/h').replace('\\\\', '\\');
