Including hex characters in strings

Greetings!

I was reading the section of the GameMaker Studio 2 manual about strings, and from the looks of it you can include hex characters in strings with something like this:

Code:
text = "Testing, Testing \x0A 123"
but when I try that, the string is just set to "Testing, Testing " and ignores the second half (hex character on).

This also doesn't work:

Code:
text = "Testing, Testing " + "\x09" + " 123"
Any ideas?
