only inside character classes.)

``'\u'``, ``'\U'``, and ``'\N'`` escape sequences are only recognized in Unicode

Unknown escapes consisting of ``'\'`` and an ASCII letter now are errors.
.. versionchanged:: 3.8
The ``'\N{name}'`` escape sequence has been added. As in string literals,
it expands to the named Unicode character (e.g. ``'\N{EM DASH}'``).
