We should better locate the error inside string literals. When we have an
invalid character inside a string literal (like \u000D) we report the error
against the whole string literal instead of localizing the error on the unicode.
Also we report an unterminated string where we could report invalid character
(\u000D) inside a string literal.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
