It depends on the meaning of "is the same". If you compare the text,
\xa7 is different from \xA7, which is different from \u00A7. In the
context of raw-unicode-escape, they are the same - both are used to
identify Unicode characters, and they identify the same character
(whether with a lower or uppercase letter, and whether in the \x, \u,
or \U notation).
