The was not a mistake, it was done on purpose since there would
otherwise have been no way to add non-ASCII Unicode code points to a raw
Unicode literal, rendering raw Unicode literals pretty useless.

Even if you use UTF-8 as source code encoding, there's no way to add
half a surrogate to a raw Unicode literal without the Unicode literals.

If you need to write a Unicode literal escape using the raw Unicode
escape encoding, you can use '\x1234'.
