Question : Why line 2 is not giving error and prints "A" as result. Tx.

package MockTest1;
 
public class Q9
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//char c = '\u00001';//Invalid : Accepted-> Line 1
        char c = '\101';//"A" : How?-> Line 2
        //char c = 65;//"A" : Accepted-> Line 3
        //char c = '\1001' ;//Invalid : How If Second line is true-> Line 4
        System.out.println("-> : "+c);
}
}

'\101' is an octal representation of 65 (the decimal value for 'A'). See JLS - 3.10.6 Escape Sequences for Character and String Literals.
