How to print specyfic String without using double quotes nor single quotes?

My task is to display specified text e.g. "dummy123". But the problem is that I can't use neither " nor ' and even no integers to do something like that. As I know in Java is no preprocessor like

#define W(x) #x;

How to have code like that without quotes:

public class A
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
       System.out.println("dummy123");
    }
}

Make an enum

public enum myEnum{
   dummy123
}

Then use the .toString 

public static void main(String [] args){
    String x = Test.dummy123.toString();
    System.out.println(x);
}

Output: dummy123

Determine what the Unicode codes are for each of the characters in the String you want. Then create a char[] and cast your numeric Unicode codes to char to initialize your char[]. E.g., 'd' is (char) 100. Then you can create a String from the char[]. This uses no double-quote or single-quote characters in the source code.

In java a char is interchangeable with an Int. You could just use a technique like:

System.out.print(Character.toChars(X));

Where X is the integer value of the character in question :D

See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#toChars%28int%29 for more info.
