What is this format? Binary? Hex?

I stumbled across the following data format. 

\u6444\u50CF\u5934\u524D

Its not hexadecimal, its not binary, and I don't know what to call it. What IS it?

yup unicode,or, possibly utf-8 if coherent with it as established by the first two posts.

usually if it cannot be seen in an ascii chart you can tell it's neither hex,decimal,binary,or ascii.

therefore its either unicode, unicode big endian, utf, or utf-8 and in some cases these are interchangeable but only if they dont protain specifically to themselves e.g.

INTERCHANGEABLE UTF-8 HI ME

UNICODE HI ME

NOT INTERCHANGEABLE UNICODE &&!@#$%^&*()

UTF-8 (SOMETHING ELSE)

Those are Unicode code points, which are encoded as 4 hex characters, for a total of 16 bits.
