Yes, wide **multicharacter** literals, that's was important information missing, thanks for spotting that.

I have mixed feeling about adding tests for escape sequences.  Their replacement doesn't happen during constant evaluation.
We shouldn't replicate the lexing tests here.

but we should compare string literal with byte values. Testing a string literal against another one doesn't ensure the code units are correct if both are equally miss evaluated.

Also we could add explicit tests for null termination here as they are added as part of evaluation in theory - but then again that's also something clang does earlier.

If we want we could consider enabling the byte code interpreter on the existing lexing test files, i actually think that's the better way to deal with the escape sequences tests.
