My copy has

<Unicode character string literal> ::=
[ <introducer><character set specification> ]
U<ampersand><quote> [ <Unicode representation>... ] <quote>
[ { <separator> <quote> [ <Unicode representation>... ] <quote> }... ]
<Unicode escape specifier>

<Unicode escape specifier> ::= [ UESCAPE <quote><Unicode escape 
character><quote> ]
