For inserting characters, we have the \u alternative; but I don't think there's alternative for raw bytes except insert \xNN. Naybe that is a valid reason for the current behavior, but that doesn't alter the need for the manual to document the behavior. Meanwhile, the Chinese and Chinese-derived character codes do not follow Unicode. So you can't enter them with \u. What is the way to enter them?
