Description

The test:

===
public void testU() throws Exception

{ VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine(); ve.init(); Context context = new VelocityContext(); StringWriter writer; writer = new StringWriter(); ve.evaluate(context, writer, "test","#set($v = \"\\u0061\")$v"); //assertEquals("a", writer.toString()); }

===

I think "\u0061" shoud produce "a", see VELOCITY-519. But if not, this should produce string "\u0061", literally, but not exception, as now.
