    Yes. But why use hex escapes? They are needlessly costly (if space
    is scarce) especially if may characters would be escaped, and they
    make the source unreadable. Why not use UTF-8 directly instead of
    relying on hex escapes?

    I'm sure you'll get lots of other details from others, so I will
    keep this message short.
