Aseem Bansal commented on GROOVY-7727:
--------------------------------------

I tried your code in Java.
\Uxxx failed in java also https://ideone.com/W99GOs

And that line says "provides a code point input method which accepts strings". So there is a specific method which accepts this format.

So this is not a bug. If you find the method name please do share.

> According to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/supplementary-142654.html 
> "For text input, the Java 2 SDK provides a code point input method which accepts strings of the form "\Uxxxxxx", where the uppercase "U" indicates that the escape sequence contains six hexadecimal digits, thus allowing for supplementary characters. A lowercase "u" indicates the original form of the escape sequences, "\uxxxx". You can find this input method and its documentation in the directory demo/jfc/CodePointIM of the J2SDK."
> The following code fails with a syntax exception
>     s = "\U01f5d0"
