No, you're right but the example give *is* ASCII. The spec refers to
the encoding of the source, not the result in the .class file. The
\uXXXX notation was introduced exactly to have a way of specifying
Unicode in ASCII (I called it UniASCII :) ). Now, the problem is that
Java uses the file system for the class names *and* the package
repository. Many file systems don't support Unicode encoding in the
names and that's way is usually ok to use Unicode in identifiers
except class and package names.
