Yes, but the question was: how do I code this in the XML and get it through my XML-lua-METAPOST-textext() path so that e.g. &#xB; or  in the XML end up as \ in my textext() string?

E.g. a &#xA; in XML becomes a \n when lmtx XML handling has read the XML (so gets transformed on read). I’ve been thinking about the route &#xD; -> \r -> \ (so, misusing \r to code a TeX-\ in the XML, but that would probably not robust.

The question is more: what is a good UTF8 character to use (the first 32 would be good candidates if they would work and end in the strings that xml.foo() of lmtx produces).
