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.

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.

There used to be some libraries which erroneously handled Java strings as null terminated. I don't know if it's still true but it's worth keeping such things in mind. Especially if you interop with external libraries that will handle strings as null terminated.
