I was running an SQL statement on a field in a physical file using

After this failed to return the desired results, I discovered that I have
to use the ASCII equivalent.

ie REGEXP_LIKE(Field1,'\x41')

Expected ?
or
Strange ?

To me, SQL is behaving in a way that is expected (or at least not
particularly strange), but what you are trying to do is very strange.
Why are you searching for hex codes?
