We have C literals (e.g. '\t', '\r', ' ') and macros defined in src/encode/* and xpdev/* for these - why not use them?

And this looks like a function that belongs in maybe xpdev/unicode*

If I were going to define a new drop file format, it wouldn't be this. And there's other things I don't like about this commit (noted above).
