Answer 1

You mean you want to manually convert to and from Unicode escapes? Try this: public class Test
  public static void main(String... args) throws Exception
    String chEsc0 = "\\u002e";
    char ch = (char) Integer.parseInt(chEsc0.substring(2), 16);
    String chEsc1 = String.format("\\u%04x", (int) ch);
    System.out.printf("%s => '%c' => %s %n", chEsc0, ch, chEsc1);
} output: \u002e => '.' => \u002e
