Which notation trac developers chose doesn't really matter - e.g.
\uNNNNN is rather common (not HTML specific and ) syntax to enter

I should really be against having something like that in default Trac
wiki syntax. Plugins are for that to enable additional special meaning
to characters. Even now there is sometimes surprise when something
turns some formatting on (probably the best example is when you write
12^5 and then you see that everything afterwards goes up - try to
explain this to somebody who just started using the wiki, there is no
problem of explaining, but less of explaining there is, better it is).
And please, how many people do know unicode numbers of characters? You
already have to look it up. And once you look it up, you can also just
copy-paste it.
And if anyone has seen the recent improvements in the edit toolbars in
Wikipedia... (e.g. the Special Characters), that should rather be the aim.
Please leave such developer-oriented syntax out of
default wiki syntax.
Well, the Trac wiki *is* a developer oriented wiki ;-) But nevertheless,
I totally agree, the \u... support would not be very natural, and for
the &...; ones there's already my wiki goodies plugin.
