Nope, that's a radically different matter. As the examples show, the examples would be entirely meaningless at code unit level.
They're simply not possible. Won't compile. There is no single UTF-8 code unit for 'ö', so you can't (easily) search for it in a range for code units. Just like there is no single code point for 'a⃗' so you can't search for it in a range of code points.
You can still search for 'a', and 'o', and the rest of ASCII in a range of code units.
