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

#set ($v = "\uf00b")
Unfortunately, this was broken. It has been fixed in Velocity 1.6 though.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-520
If you aren't interested in building 1.6 from source yourself (it has
no releases yet), then you could create a "tool" that creates
arbitrary unicode characters for you. Since i was curious of how to
do this myself, i wrote one for you:
public class UnicodeTool
{
public static String get(String code)
{
if (code != null && code.startsWith("\\u"))
{
code = code.substring(2, code.length());
}
return get(Integer.valueOf(code,16));
}
public static String get(int codePoint)
{
return String.valueOf(Character.toChars(codePoint));
}
}
Just put an instance in the context as "unicode" and use it in the
template like this:
#set( $v = $unicode.get('f00b') )
$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.
