 ** A hex escape in a string forces the string to be multibyte.

-intangibility processing effectively treats the following character

+** Only one of the beginning or end of an invisible, intangible region is
+considered an acceptable value for point; which one is determined by
+examining how the invisible/intangible properties are inherited when new
+text is inserted adjacent to them.  If text inserted at the beginning would
+inherit the invisible/intangible properties, then that position is
+considered unacceptable, and point is forced to the position following the
+invisible/intangible text.  If text inserted at the end would inherit the
+properties, then the opposite happens.

+not the other one.  This prevents C-f and C-b from appearing to stand still
