Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:
On a narrow build, "\N{MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT CAPITAL A}" is stored as 2 code
units, and neither re nor regex recombine them when compiling a regex or
looking for a match.
regex supports \xNN, \uNNNN and \UNNNNNNNN and \N{XYZ} itself, so they can be
used in a raw string literal, but it doesn't recombine code units.
I could add recombination to regex at some point if time has passed and no
further progress has been made in the language's support for Unicode.
