There are several ways to get Unicode characters into your Java programs.
You are correct in that you can use \u to represent any Unicode
character. You put the escape sequence anywhere that you would put a
single character like "a" (so it goes inside the quotation marks).
If you can type

No, they are 2.0.

C1 says "A process shall interpret Unicode code values as 16-bit quantities."

If you got a hollow or black box instead of the frowney, you are
probably using a font that supports WGL4, which includes the
