@Acorn the unicode \uABCD escape sequence will cover the full range of characters. Did you want the shortest possible escape sequence?

@Acorn I updated it to produce the shortest sequence it can, so chars whose ord(c) <= 255 will be encoded as \xAB form, even in unicode string.

@samplebias: Even better! (you forgot to change the output though)
