Good Christ... Here is your interpretation removed of intermediate fluff–

Q: Since when did "\N{U+5678}" work as an alternative to "\x{5678}"?

A: Unicode.

And here is yet another answer to something you posit: Is the byte-sequence “ABCD” a valid Unicode code-point, such that Unicode-aware software should be expected to understand it? Any competent Perl hacker could find the answer in just a few minutes–

perl -CSD -le 'print "\N{U+ABCD}"'
ꯍ
perl -Mcharnames=:full -e'printf"%04X\n",charnames::vianame("MEETEI MAYEK LETTER HUK")'
ABCD

Goody for me indeed.
