We went over this before. I consider the 2.x behavior a mistake, and a decision was made to change in 3.0. It got much worse in 3.0 because all literals are Unicode (except byte literals). To add a unicode value to a raw string, just concatenate a raw string and a non-raw string, e.g. r'whatever' '\u1234' r'whatever' I don't understand what you meant by '\x1234' -- the \x escape only accepts 2 hex digits.
