What does it look like?

A sin?

A Java file.

oh gods it runs

Idea hates it too.

it's because of the character in the string above it right

Do you see what's going on?

yeah

That's an old thing because Unicode wasn't really supported very well back in the day.

is that really how it compiles though? thats just the escape character but when it hits the /* shouldn't it stop parsing the comment

The \u escapes are first.(edited)

weird

Blame Microsoft.
