Description

Came across this question and I recall that at one point JAXB did not support escaping/unescaping unicode characters when marshalling.

Has this been addressed in more recent versions?

Research direction

Start by checking the current JAXB API documentation and implementation behavior for Unicode character escaping and unescaping during marshalling. The issue names no files, tests, versions, or expected change; a useful outcome would first establish whether support exists and, if not, define the required behavior before implementation.
