The problem is that the Unicode excape sequences are processed in the first step at compile time. So the line:
char c = '\u000a';
actually becomes....
char c = '
';
when the compiler actually tries to infer it. So, as it sees two lines there, it generates an error message!
That's the reason there are other escape qequences like \n for u000a etc. You must use them to represent the trouble makers!!!
