Thank you for the reply, but not sure if that will help. My solution needs to be at a higher level. I need to "set" a variable with a unicode value, and to output this value before and after a block of output:

#set ($v = "\uf00b")

$v
$myBlockOutput
$v

The problem has been assigning the unicode value. The standard 'escape' does not seem to be working. We are using Velocity 1.5.

Thank you.

Velocity 1.5+ has UnicodeFileResourceLoader loader
implementation. You can save .vm files as UTF-8 (with
or without BOM) text files. It saves you all the
troubles.

Only issue then is to make sure you send HttpResponse
headers accordingly.
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

How do I assign and output a unicode character in

calculated output.

TIA
