If it is a non-unicode string
a\x01bc
will do it.

If it is a unicode string use
a\x001bc



Have you tried compiling this? (It doesn't compile for me.) 

No. I am sorry about the wrong infos.

I just read the docs. And I thought that the parser stopped after 2 or 3 chars, becuase the docuemntation should explicitly 2 and 3 chars after \x. In fact it parses all chars unti it find a character not matching the sequence and this causes an overflow.
So the only way is what John Carson wrote.
