An excerpt from Ali's book:

-----
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/characters.html

    Specifying the Unicode values of the characters by using the
\ufour_digit_value syntax for wchar, and the \Ueight_digit_value syntax for
dchar. (Note u vs. U.) The Unicode values must be specified in hexadecimal:

        wchar Ğ_w = '\u011e';
        dchar Ğ_d = '\U0000011e';

These methods can be used to specify the characters within strings as well. For
example, the following two lines have the same string literals:

    writeln("Résumé preparation: 10.25€");
    writeln("\x52\ésum\u00e9 preparation: 10.25\€");
