+*** New syntax: \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX specify Unicode code points in hex.
+Use "\u0428" to specify a string consisting of CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHA,
+or "\U0001D6E2" to specify one consisting of MATHEMATICAL ITALIC CAPITAL
+ALPHA (the latter is greater than #xFFFF and thus needs the longer
+syntax).  Also available for characters.
