In C, char constants are syntactically the same as int constants.
You have two choices to write hex int or char constants:
the "int" flavor: 0xf0
the "char" flavor: '\xf0'
or simply 240
or (this is ill-fated IMO) 0360 ...
because a leading zero makes the number an octal number in C
So, yes, if you choice to use the char representation, you have to code
apostrophes, not quotes.
(IMO, apostrophe = ', quote = ")

Quite possible.
To confirm, it is '\xf0' with surrounding quotes of \xF0 without quotes. Or
both?
