UnicodeEscape

Syntax

unicodeEscape { on | off }

Description

Use this command during an ij session to allow unicode escape sequences as input characters during the ij session. By default, unicodeEscape is set to `off' (ij does not accept unicode escape characters).

NOTE: You can also set the ij.unicodeEscape property for an ij session when you start ij. For more information, see ij.unicodeEscape.

If set to on, enter unicode symbols using unicode escape sequences (hexadecimal codes).

Example


ij> unicodeescape on;
