[Bug] Claude refuses to modify Unicode character literal ranges without explanation

Bug Description
I was not able to get Claude generate a simple line like
'\u4e00' <= ch <= '\u9fff' or # CJK Unified Ideographs
It kept going in circles refusing to do what I asked:
"now modify _is_cjk() so that it references character literals by their unicodes."
The original code:
'一' <= ch <= '鿿' or # CJK Unified Ideographs
it gave no explanation either, it just went in circles trying to do nothing.
