The C1 control codes and DEL (0x7f-0x9f, inclusive) are not escaped by the inspect formatter, which can affect the terminal behavior and insert line breaks (for example NEL, 0x85).

For example:

console.log("%O", "\x9b");
// Logs a single quote instead of '\u009b' or '\x9b'

Also, why not use \xXX instead of \u00XX?
