Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

When writing std::string utf8_str = "\u{1F604}"; into a cpp file, the language server says incorrectly formed universal character name C/C++(965) however compilation and execution works fine.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a cpp file an copy/paste this code:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
  std::string utf8_str = "\u{1F604}";
  std::cout << "UTF-8 string: " << utf8_str << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

2. Compile it, I'm using g++ compiler

Expected behavior:
No error

Note \u{n...} (since C++23) -> code point U+n... (arbitrary number of hexadecimal digits)

My compiler is using C++17 and works, also tried to change cppStandard to gnu++23 but still persist the error
