Behavioural change of {@code} regarding Unicode characters?

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Martin,

Thanks for the report; there is no intentional change in this area.

Can you give a specific example of a comment containing {@code} that 
illustrates the issue, showing the exact representation of the Unicode 
character?

I'll check out the doc comment spec, and fix the issue you mention.
