Description

=begin
I noticed String#inspect results \x{XXXX} for the encoding other than Unicode.

Is there any possibility that \x{XXXX} is accepted as an escape sequence of string?

irb(main):004:0> a = "\xC7\xD1\xB1\xDB"
=> "\xC7ѱ\xDB"
irb(main):005:0> a.encoding
=> #Encoding:UTF-8
irb(main):006:0> a.force_encoding('EUC-KR')
=> "\x{C7D1}\x{B1DB}"
irb(main):007:0> a.encode('UTF-8')
=> "한글"
irb(main):008:0> a
=> "\x{C7D1}\x{B1DB}"
irb(main):009:0> a[0]
=> "\x{C7D1}"
irb(main):010:0> a[1]
=> "\x{B1DB}"
irb(main):011:0> b = "\x{B1DB}"
SyntaxError: (irb):11: invalid hex escape
b = "\x{B1DB}"
