Martin,
Thanks for the report; there is no intentional change in this area.
Can you give a specific example of a comment containing {@code} that
illustrates the issue, showing the exact representation of the Unicode
character?
I'll check out the doc comment spec, and fix the issue you mention.

Hello
I noticed a behavioural change of {@code} inline tag with Java 10. In
Java versions 5 to 8, text inside {@code} was rendered literally,
including Unicode characters outside ASCII range. But in Java 10,
Unicode characters are replaced by the "\u" escape sequence. For example:
{@code foo(…)}
Was rendered as foo(…) in HTML javadoc generated by Java 8, but is now
rendered as foo(\u2026) in javadoc generated by Java 10. Is this
behavioural change intentional? I do not see notice about handling of
Unicode characters in [1].

P.S.: in the documentation about {@literal}, the link to the {@code}
tag at the end of the paragraph actually references {@link}.
