Thanks. I see that documented in (elisp) Non-ASCII in Strings:
You can also represent a multibyte non-ASCII character with its
character code: use a hex escape, `\xNNNNNNN', with as many digits
as necessary.
[...]
using any hex escape in a string (even for an ASCII character)
forces the string to be multibyte
Is there a good reason why using \xNN should cause the string to be
multibyte? It seems counterintuitive to me.
