title: Null \u0000 in Java String?
body: <p>Are there any good reasons not to use \u0000 as a delimiter within a Java String? I would be encoding and decoding the string myself.</p>
  
  <p>This is for saving a list of user-inputted (I'm expecting input to be typed?) strings to an Eclipse preference and reading it back. The list may be variable size so I don't think I can save each item to its own preference.</p>
