RFC 5137, "ASCII Escaping of Unicode Characters", February 2008

Source of RFC: IETF - NON WORKING GROUP
Area Assignment: app

Errata ID: 5138
Status: Verified
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section A.3 says: 

   EmbeddedUnicodeChar =   %x5C.7A 4HEXDIG ; starts with "\u"

It should say:

   EmbeddedUnicodeChar =   %x5C.75 4HEXDIG ; starts with "\u"

Notes:

Hex 7A is the character 'z', which doesn't match the comment.
As far as I can tell, the Java language defines unicode characters to be \u, like the comment says, and therefore the ABNF should be %x5C.75

Section 2 says: 

      or more decoding steps to determine a Unicode code point that can
      used to look up the character in a table.  That may be appropriate
      in some cases where the goal is really to represent the UTF-8 form
      but, in general, it just obscures desired information and makes
      errors more likely and debugging harder.
