Maybe.  But your code above is obvious, imo.  Either Knute had a brain 
fart and forgot about \\ to escape a slash, or he ran into some other 
problem.

My point was that there's a very simple pre-compiler for Java.  It 
translates all \u-escapes into characters before the compiler proper 
sees it.  There's no difference to the Java compiler between "fed" and 
"\u0066\u0065\u0064".  It literally can't tell the difference.

That's an important distinction.
