The transformation involves converting any Unicode escapes in the source text of the program to ASCII by adding an extra <code>u</code>-for example, <code>\uxxxx</code> becomes <code>\uuxxxx</code>-while simultaneously converting non-ASCII characters in the source text to Unicode escapes containing a single u each.</p> <p>This transformed version is equally acceptable to a compiler for the Java programming language and represents the exact same program. The exact Unicode source can later be restored from this ASCII form by converting each escape sequence where multiple <code>u</code>'s are present to a sequence of Unicode characters with one fewer <code>u</code>, while simultaneously converting each escape sequence with a single <code>u</code> to the corresponding single Unicode character.</p> </blockquote> <p>If your string can contain Unicode escapes with extraneous <code>u</code>, then you may also need to preprocess this before using <code>StringEscapeUtils</code>.</p> <p>Alternatively you can try to write your own Java string literal unescaper from scratch, making sure to follow the exact JLS specifications.</p> <h3>References</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.3" rel="noreferrer">JLS 3.3 Unicode Escapes</a></li> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.10.6" rel="noreferrer">JLS 3.10.6 Escape Sequences for Character and String Literals</a></li> </ul>

    1. COI've found this library, too (after posting). I'm experiencing problems with the octal values. I'm currently trying to convert them by hand.

    2. COUh, converting the octals to unicode isn't trivial. Only 0-127 can be easily mapped. Is this right?

    3. CO@ziggystar: Looks like JLS says `0-255` instead (see quote). The largest octal escape is `\377`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
