Using \u escape sequences in the string would be better (provided you want
a UTF-8 string, -fexec-charset=utf-8 is the GCC default and is implemented
entirely within GCC without depending on what iconv support might be
available for the host GCC runs on). Note that we already have various
tests using \u.
(For tests using non-UTF-8 encodings, hex escape sequences for the
individual characters may be safer, to avoid dependence on iconv support
linked into GCC.)
