Any reason you're not using a string interpolation? Writing s"""\\usepackage""" works. Otherwise, you could write """⧵usepackage""".replace('⧵', '\\') where '⧵' is the reverse solidus operator :^)
I only ever use Scala's \u???? escapes for one thing: writing `\usepackage foo` when I embed LaTeX in multiline strings. Like this: \u005cusepackage foo Just try writing it without them... Seriously, try it.

Well, I am using string interpolation... but I thought that didn't work! So I just checked, and it didn't work with Scala 2.9, but does in 2.10. My code is actually on 2.12, but my "trick" dates back over a decade... ;)

That is from the days when IDEs and editors did not handle UTF8.

Probably a "cAsE wHErE wE dOn'T tRy tO iMpRoVe oVEr jAvA", like https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/3220 … was for a decade? :-)

Wow, I remember arguing about this back when multiline strings were introduced, around 2006/7... and it's still going.
