Characters in Octal and Hex

(Delimit with quotes)

To specify a character using the hexadecimal or octal code for the character, use one of the following.

Escape CodeMatches
the character that has
\0n octal value 0n (0 <= n <=7)
\0nn octal value 0nn (0 <= n <=7)
\0mnn octal value 0mnn (0 <= m <=3, 0< = n <=7)
\xhh hex value 0xhh ( 0 <= h <= F )
\uhhhh hex value 0xhhhh

For example, \0101 matches capital 'A' since the octal code for that character is octal 101. Usually you would just use the regular expression A for this. But to match strings that contain unicode characters, use the above.

Characters may be described using two or four hex digits. The hex digits are 0, 1, 2, ..., 9, A, B, ... E, F. The digits above nine can be upper or lower case. For example, capital 'O' matches \x4F or \u004F or \x4f or \u004f
