AFAIK, single-byte-width \xxx escapes are always treated as bytes, not
as characters. Even if they are outside the 7-bit range, and even in the
presence of the utf8 pragma.

Try inserting real Unicode characters into the string, explicitly
upgrading the string using utf8::upgrade or utf8 or use encoding 'latin1'.
