Would this definition be fine ?
"""

  u = ur'<raw-unicode-escape encoded Python string>'

The 'raw-unicode-escape' encoding is defined as follows:

· \uXXXX sequence represent the U+XXXX Unicode character if and
  only if the number of leading backslashes is odd

· all other characters represent themselves as Unicode ordinal
  (e.g. 'b' -> U+0062)
