Template containing NULL character fails to evaluate

Templates with NULL Unicode character(s) fail to evaluate

Example code:

import Handlebars from "https://esm.sh/handlebars";

const handlebars = Handlebars.create();
const template = handlebars.compile('Hello \x00 {{name}}')
try {
  const test = template({name: "foo"})
  console.log(test)
} catch (e) {
  console.log(e.message)
}

Fails with:

"Lexical error on line 1. Unrecognized text.
Hello  {{name}}
------^"
