Hi-
 
The page http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html does not
mention that \uNNNN Unicode syntax is supported.
For example, \u0048\u0045\u004c\u004c\u004f is HELLO.
 
Please add this to the page, it took experimentation to discover it.
 
Thanks,
 
Lance Norskog

I don't believe the QueryParser actually treats \uNNNNN as a special
syntax ... what you may have encountered was that when *javac* parses a
literal string constant, those sequences have special meaning -- but they
are already the literal unicode characters long before QueryParser sees
them.

As far as query parser is concerned the backslash in \uNNNNN is only
escaping the "u"  (all characters can be escaped, wether they need it or
not)

check my assumption was relatively up to date.
