Status: Closed
Resolution: Fixed
Bug Group: None
Priority: 7

Summary: String literal documentation is not up to date

Details: Section 2.4.1 of the Reference Manual does not mention unicode 
strings and the unicode escape sequences \u and \U at all. 
Moreover, it still states that "\x" escapes consume an arbitrary 
number (>=2) of  hex digits (while it is exactly 2 right now: PEP223).

Added additional comments on Unicode strings and the \u, \U, \N escape sequences to Doc/ref/ref2.tex revision 1.21.
