the LDC compiler something like "Outside Unicode code space" in 
my unittests when this is the first character in a wstring. I’ve 
tried all sorts of escape sequences but I must simply be 
misunderstanding the docs. I could always copy-paste a real live 
one into a double quoted string and be done with it, I suppose.

D strings are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8 / UTF-16 / UTF-32. So if
you wrote something like `\xA0` in your string will likely generate an
invalid encoding.  Try instead `\u00A0`.

note that you don't need wstring and dstring to express all 
unicode strings.

I realised that I was probably generating UTF8 and only one byte, 
so I switched to \u00A0, I think. Must have got that wrong too 
because I was still getting the error message. I’ll try it again 
carefully.
