Escape codes in XML?

Hello.

Does XML allow the use of non-ASCII characters in tags using a '\'
escape sequence? For example, is the following valid XML code?

<\251ART offset="58265" size="35">
<data offset="58273" size="27">Frank Zappa</data>
</\251ART>

I am developing a small application that will parse a type of file and
produce XML tags based on what it finds. The names of the tags are
extracted from the file, and may contain characters in the range 0-255.
What is the proper way to represent these characters in tags?

Thanks in advance for any help...

You should read carefully:

3.1 Start-Tags, End-Tags, and Empty-Element Tags
