The following PIR:

.sub unicode:"\u7777"
print "ok\n"
.end

Should print: "ok", but instead errors out with:

error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected USTRINGC, expecting IDENTIFIER or
STRINGC or PARROT_OP
in file 'foo.pir' line 1

This should be ok now as well as calling the sub, sub.t is passing
again with r12863. More tests e.g. method calls are very welcome.
