Octal character literal is mistaken for backreference #37

@clupasq

Description

@clupasq

The expression /\101/ matches the character with the ASCII code octal 101 (decimal 65), which is A.

Here's a test: https://jsfiddle.net/ekaeb61p/

However, Regexper wrongly interprets the above pattern as meaning a backreference to group 1 (the \1), followed by a literal "01": https://regexper.com/#%2F%5C101%2F
