I never noticed that Parenscript was escaping those characters in string literals. For the record, what happens is:

I agree it's better to not escape non-ASCII, non-control characters in strings. Encoding itself is something that is up to the external format of the stream you are outputting Parenscript code to.
I will make a patch to fix this soon.
