Hi Dorai,

is there any constraint that forces you to use \N, or can you use other
expressions as well? In that case, \[uxxxx] might be the desired answer
for you, where xxxx is a hex representation of a Unicode code point.

Oliver.

Is there a downside to allowing hex numbers, with the usual distinguishing 
prefix 0x?
