String


Because it isn't French, it's just the ASCII characters \, u, 0, 0, 6, 6 etc.  
This is a totally different concept from the idea of escape sequences that the 
compiler interprets for you.

If you want to read French out of a file, put *French* in the file, not ASCII.  
It can't work any other way.

If you want to interpret ASCII as escape sequences, you'll have to write the 
interpreter.  The Java Properties object reads escape sequences, but I don't 
think you can separate just the escape parser out.
