Unicode source code

One day I have read that java source code is considered as unicode text.

Today I want to try that :

$ echo "\u0070\u0075\u0062\u006C\u0069\u0063\u0020\u0063\u006C\u0061\u0073\u0073\u0020\u0041\u0020\u007B\u000A\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0070\u0075\u0062\u006C\u0069\u0063\u0020\u0073\u0074\u0061\u0074\u0069\u0063\u0020\u0076\u006F\u0069\u0064\u0020\u006D\u0061\u0069\u006E\u0028\u0053\u0074\u0072\u0069\u006E\u0067\u005B\u005D\u0020\u0061\u0072\u0067\u0076\u0029\u0020\u007B\u000A\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0053\u0079\u0073\u0074\u0065\u006D\u002E\u006F\u0075\u0074\u002E\u0070\u0072\u0069\u006E\u0074\u006C\u006E\u0028\u0022\u0070\u006F\u0075\u0065\u0074\u0022\u0029\u003B\u000A\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u007D\u000A\u007D" > A.java
$ javac A.java
$ java A
pouet

The unicode string is equivalents to the following code :

public class A {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        System.out.println("pouet");
    }
}
