Does he mean specifically the character U+0000, or rather any character referenced by hex codepoint?
Hex codepoints (or something similar) are sometimes needed to keep ASCII-only systems from trashing your data. I have used them so much I took my copy of the Unicode standard and on the hiragana page, wrote some decimal equivalents of hex numbers there.
Hex codepoints are an excellent idea when making a display that is to be shown on browsers set to who knows what codepage.
Tex, how did you do the name page, anyway?
It would be useful to have a utility where you type text and out come the '\u0000' type strings (or else HTML hash codes) for use in a Java program or Web page.
