Come on, "assuming the code points are valid". It says so 4 lines above!
It isn't the same.
Hex strings are the raw bytes, eg UTF8 code points. (ie, it includes the
high bits that indicate the length of each char).
\u makes dchars.
"\u00A1" is not the same as x"A1" nor is it x"00 A1". It's two non-zero
bytes.
