Fixes a documentation error found while diagnosing a hex regex pattern question.
The hex escape sequence only specifies a single character (not a single byte). So this means it can only be used to match ASCII characters (code-points 0-127) and not all UTF-8 characters. This is the same as for octal escape sequences. Also, the example provided for hex in the documentation has been corrected to use a valid ASCII character.
