If a keyword represented as unicode escape sequences, should it interpreted as identifier or keyword?

Not entirely clear. There is a bug for it:

Get even more confusing when you assign to it :D tru\u0065=1
As a keyword.
This is clarified in the ES6 draft (people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-7.6.1 )

However I detected some weird implementations.
In Chrome 25, \u0076\u0061\u0072 a throws a syntax error, means that Chrome treat escape sequences as identifier. Though IE10 runs \u0076\u0061\u0072 a well, shows that it treat \u0076\u0061\u0072 a keyword. Hmmmmmmm, perhaps I should establish an issue for Chrome.
Hmmmmm, Maybe I should establish an issue for Chrome, instead of IE. Thanks.
