- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### UnicodeEscaper

          public UnicodeEscaper()

      Constructs a `UnicodeEscaper` for all characters.

    - #### UnicodeEscaper

          protected UnicodeEscaper(int below,
                        int above,
                        boolean between)

      Constructs a `UnicodeEscaper` for the specified range. This is the underlying method for the other constructors/builders. The `below` and `above` boundaries are inclusive when `between` is `true` and exclusive when it is `false`.

      Parameters:
        `below` - int value representing the lowest codepoint boundary
        `above` - int value representing the highest codepoint boundary
        `between` - whether to escape between the boundaries or outside them

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### below

          public static UnicodeEscaper below(int codepoint)

      Constructs a `UnicodeEscaper` below the specified value (exclusive).

      Parameters:
        `codepoint` - below which to escape
      Returns:
        the newly created `UnicodeEscaper` instance

    - #### above

          public static UnicodeEscaper above(int codepoint)

      Constructs a `UnicodeEscaper` above the specified value (exclusive).

      Parameters:
        `codepoint` - above which to escape
      Returns:
        the newly created `UnicodeEscaper` instance

    - #### outsideOf

          public static UnicodeEscaper outsideOf(int codepointLow,
                                 int codepointHigh)

      Constructs a `UnicodeEscaper` outside of the specified values (exclusive).

      Parameters:
        `codepointLow` - below which to escape
        `codepointHigh` - above which to escape
      Returns:
        the newly created `UnicodeEscaper` instance

    - #### between

          public static UnicodeEscaper between(int codepointLow,
                               int codepointHigh)

      Constructs a `UnicodeEscaper` between the specified values (inclusive).

      Parameters:
        `codepointLow` - above which to escape
        `codepointHigh` - below which to escape
      Returns:
        the newly created `UnicodeEscaper` instance

    - #### translate

          public boolean translate(int codepoint,
                          Writer out)
                            throws IOException

      Translate the specified codepoint into another.
      Specified by:
        `translate` in class `CodePointTranslator`
      Parameters:
        `codepoint` - int character input to translate
        `out` - Writer to optionally push the translated output to
      Returns:
        boolean as to whether translation occurred or not
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if and only if the Writer produces an IOException

    - #### toUtf16Escape

          protected String toUtf16Escape(int codepoint)

      Converts the given codepoint to a hex string of the form `"\\uXXXX"`
      Parameters:
        `codepoint` - a Unicode code point
      Returns:
        the hex string for the given codepoint
