Hmmm. I hadn't looked at it that way. No, I don't suppose you could paste
the six ASCII characters "\u0410" into a Word document and get a Cyrillic A.
But it would be a real stretch to claim that Microsoft's handling of Unicode
is broken or idiosyncratic simply because their apps don't support this
special notation.

SC UniPad can convert Unicode text to and from both Java-style \u0000
notation and HTML/SGML entities (either hex or decimal). Visit
http://www.unipad.org for a free download.
