Code inside comment executed after Unicode sequence [duplicate]

Question

I have this code:

class ABCD
{
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        int i = 3;
        // \u000A i++;
        System.out.println(i);
    }
}

Ouput:

4

Does this mean that Java also executes comments?

The line break represented by \u000A terminates the line comment. See stackoverflow.com/questions/4448180/… — NineBerry

The i++ is on a separate line from the one-line comment. Unicode code point '\u000A' is a line-feed character.
