Daniel showed one way to interpret your request.  Here's another.  Pay 
special attention to the bits out side the quotes.  This program prints 
"fed".


public class EscapeTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       String \u0066\u0065\u0064 = "\u0066\u0065\u0064";
       System.out.println( fed );
    }
}
