Hi,
I was playing around a bit with JS strings. I got unexpected results:
js> "\u0000".charCodeAt(0)
typein:1: ReferenceError: \xC30 is not defined
js> "\u0000"
u0\uffff000
js> "\x00".charCodeAt(0)
typein:3: ReferenceError: \xC30 is not defined
js> String.fromCharCode(0)
typein:4: ReferenceError: \xC30 is not defined

Why \xC30? Is that expected behaviour?

That was with an xpcshell from today's cvs trunk.
