It is not broken, but behaves as mandated by the standard. See [lex.ccon].
character-literal:
'c-char-sequence'
L'c-char-sequence'
c-char-sequence:
c-char
c-char-sequence c-char
c-char:
any member of the source character set except the single-quote â, backslash
\, or new-line character
escape-sequence
universal-character-name
escape-sequence:
simple-escape-sequence
octal-escape-sequence
hexadecimal-escape-sequence
hexadecimal-escape-sequence:
\x hexadecimal-digit
hexadecimal-escape-sequence hexadecimal-digit
And [lex.ccon]/4 says:
The escape \xhhh consists of the backslash followed by x followed by one or
more hexadecimal digits that are taken to specify the value of the desired
character. There is no limit to the number of digits in a hexadecimal sequence.
A sequence of octal or hexadecimal digits is terminated by the first character
that is not an octal digit or a hexadecimal digit, respectively.
