How do I enter unicode characters in eclipse?

Question

I am running eclipse in Linux and while shift+control+U+1+1+1+1 works in other apps (where 1111 are the 4 digits of the unicode character in question) like firefox, it fails in eclipse.

I just want to add some special chars to my Java string.

Answer 1

If all else fails, just use a Unicode escape:

String s = "\u1111";

Spares you the hassle of configuring charsets for your source files as well :)

Answer 2

在另一个程序中创建角色并将其复制到Eclipse。
