-----------------------------------------
Nathan, EscapeTool does escaping. I need something opposite.
I need ability to insert any Unicode character in template. Any programming
language, templating language or markup language allows this. Velocity shoud
too.
Inserting concrete characters is not unescaping.
My templates are stored in encoding that is not Unicode. So it is not possible
to insert some characters I have to insert (some unicode characters, like em
dash). In Java I can write: \u2014, in HTML: —. I want to have something
similar in Velocity.
I think it is bad idea to have special tool to generate characters.
> Java escape sequences should work in Velocity macros
