# Description
Support extended unicode escapes in strings with same syntax as Rust:
`"\u{6e}"`.
# User-Facing Changes
New syntax in string literals, `\u{NNNNNN}`, to go along with the
existing `\uNNNN`.
New syntax accepts 1-6 hex digits and rejects values greater than
0x10FFFF (max Unicode char)..
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
Won't break existing scripts, since this is new syntax.
We might consider deprecating `char -u`, since users can now embed
unicode chars > 0xFFFF with the new escape.
# Tests + Formatting
Several unit tests and one integration test added.
- [x] `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting
(`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes)
Done
- [x] `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
Done
- [x] `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
