Martin,

I was in the assumption, that you could add this clarification to your 
CR as you are involved anyway on finishing the javadoc of String. As you 
may be know, webrev script is a pain for me, as I'm on Windows. CYGWIN 
is buggy in that case, so each 2nd time I try this, Windows comes to 
hang because of C heap overflow.

I like to finish the Character class and file the changes via patch on 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net. So I would be happy If you could answer 
my question, if replacing all occurrences of <code>...</code> by {@code 
...} using  \u005CuXXXX is secure.
