[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Many thanks for the fast response. I do think that's a surprising feature
and that most users would expect "\u00B2" to be interpreted as a unicode
character especially given the \u representation, which I think is specific
to Unicode even if treated as just a variant numerical representation in
emacs. Would it perhaps make sense for emacs to take the \u format into
account when interpreting this?
