Description

The definition of UnicodeEscape in §2.4.5:2 (fls_5v9gx22g5wPm) characterises the form of these escapes as follows:

A UnicodeEscape starts with a \u{ literal, followed by 1 to 6 instances of a HexadecimalDigit, inclusive, followed by a } character.

But a unicode escape may also contain underscore characters, anywhere after the first hexadecimal digit.
