Make that up to 6 Xs. One of the problems of such escapes when used in code,
a la ISO C++ (like the \ooo for octal digits) is that they're
variable-length, and stop as soon as an invalid char for the radix is
encountered. That makes them error-prone (but fun).
Does anybody know if the C++ standard specified how many hex digits max this
escape can have? And doesn't the standard say something like \u is for
wchar_t, which may not be Unicode (I hope I'm wrong here)?
YA
