Should we store Japanese/French and other non-ASCII characters in java source code?
<p>I am using some Japanese/French words in some regular expressions inside my source code. I don't want to convert these into \u notation since tracking it would be difficult and might introduce bugs hard to catch.</p>

<p>Do we have any standard practice to deal with non-ASCII characters in source code or is it OK to use them as they are.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
