Are you sure that you want more than one way (MIME) for this
magic, and if yes, are you sure that \u'nnnnnn' is the right
way in HTTP ?  If there is a chance that these values have to
be displayed in HTML pages or used in XML files the NCR form
&#xnnnnnn; might work "as is", for \u'nnnnnn' something needs
to determine a corresponding UTF-16, hex. NCR, or UTF-8.
