I'd like to hear from anyone who has access to real code that uses \u or \U in a raw unicode string.

Docutils uses it in the docutils.parsers.rst.states module, Body class:

patterns = {
      'bullet': ur'[-+*\u2022\u2023\u2043]( +|$)',
...

attribution_pattern = re.compile(ur'(---?(?!-)|\u2014) *(?=[^ \n])')
