I just had a great revelation as I was putting together my SSCCE for the 
question I was going to ask.  So it has changed my question.  How do I 
do the conversion of unicode escape sequences to a String that are done 
by string literals?

String s = "\u0066\u0065\u0064";

becomes "fed" but if you create a String with \u0066\u0065\u0064 in it 
without using the literal it stays \u0066\u0065\u0064.  Is there a built 
in mechanism in Java for doing that translation to a String?
