You can have multiple "u" and it will still be an unicode escape. I tried having multiple double backslash after the first (ie, odd number of backslashes) but that didn't work for me.
Why? Beats me.

The Scala language specification says,   UnicodeEscape ::= \{\\}u{u} hexDigit hexDigit hexDigit hexDigit

Would deeply appreciate someone letting me know what \{\\}u{u} means ? I mean, what do the optional repetitions of \\ and u following the 1st \ and u respectively, mean ?

Apoogies, maybe has to do with me not knowing the Unicode standard much !

Thanks,
