specification
Specify the character code as two-digit hexadecimal in
parentheses. Character codes are two-digit hexadecimal
numbers that range from 00 to FF.
For example, “$L” is the same as “$0A”. UTF-8 character
codes cannot be expressed in a single byte. But, for exam-
ple, the character code for the Japanese character ‘ ’ is
0xE38182 which can be represented as ‘$E3$81$82’.
