Variables view showing Unicode value for int > 127

On the Java > Debug > Primitive Display Options preference page, there's an option called

  Display ASCII character values (byte, short, int, long)

AFAICT, this works for numbers > 127 (the ASCII range) as well (see screenshot). I assume the option works for the entire Unicode range (unless it uses some kind of local encoding). If so, the preference page should say so.
