Unicode escaping in strings #9

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

We can make it more explicit by quoting, and no fix-width numbers: "Apple is \u{1F34E}."

Also support multiple code points: "Three apples: \u{1F34E,1F34E,1F34E}."

\uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX is standard way to escape unicode in most programming languages and I see no urge here to invent something original

I think \UXXXXXXXX is very ugly, is a historical flaw (\uXXXX too). We don't need two modes to escape unicode characters. \u{...} will become more popular with ECMAScript 6.

Swift2 and Rust both support \u{...} now. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/19480/files

Okay!

I didn't know that.
