Yes, that would certainly be a problem.  I didn't realize you were
trying to use \xnn here.  (This is the sort of thing where copying &
pasting the relevant code snippet would save a lot of time.)

However, you can certainly find such characters without encoding them
at all.  Just include Encodings.UTF8.Chr(&h2029) in your search
pattern; or even better, type this character right into your string
literal (using something like the OS X Character Palette).  To RegEx,
it's no different from any other Unicode character.

Well, you could try that.  But that seems mostly useful if you're
working in a language that's not Unicode-savvy; REALbasic is.

Best,
