They are both fixed-length expressions, which is good, because people get
into the habit of typing "\u0123As I walked out one evening" instead of the
more disastrous "\u123As I walked out one evening".
I see, you are talking about using them in strings.
Still, I don't like having both \u and \U--it is ugly.
I think it would be better to put an explicit terminator into
the construct. Perhaps #. So you would write "\u123#As I walked"
