According to the folks at Mozilla, Escaped Unicode Encoding uses the unicode
representation \uXXXX.  

I've attached a small file with characters encoded in this way.  It includes
three "special" characters:
a "u" with a circumflex, an "a" with a circumflex, and a "c" with a cedilla.

I can't get emacs to read them properly: they appear, respectively, as:
"\u00FB",  "\u00E2",  "\u00E7"

If you can get emacs to read the file properly, please let me know how you
did it.

Thanks
