https://dlang.org/spec/lex.html#hex_strings says:
The string literals are assembled as UTF-8 char arrays, and the
postfix is applied to convert to wchar or dchar as necessary as
a final step.
This isn't the friendliest thing ever and is contrary to my
expectations too. You basically have to encode your string into
UTF-8 and then paste the hex of that in.
What should work is escape sequences:
wstring str = "\u03c0"w;
