Escape unicode escaping within Javadoc

I'm writing Javadoc for a class explaining proper unicode escaping:

 * String unitAbbrev = "\u03bcs"; //Poor: the reader has no idea what this is.

Unfortunately they both render with "μs":

Is there any way to escape this unicode escape?

Double backslash ("\\u03bcs") doesn't work:

Solution

  • Try putting the escaped Unicode literal for the backslash itself, I think:

    \u005c
