Yes. :-) The definition of \newunicodechar is essentially (only some consistency checks are omitted here) \def\newunicodechar#1#2{% \catcode`#1=\active \begingroup\lccode`\~=`#1 \lowercase{\endgroup\protected\def~}{#2}} What's in #2 has already been tokenized when the catcode of #1 is changed. Actually the catcode change might even be deferred at a later moment. Of course I don't expect that anybody calls \newunicodechar inside a group.
