What happens here is that when you use a \u escape, it stores
the correct UTF-8 representation into the string.  Unless you
have loaded the utf8 egg, though, string-ref will select the bytes
of the string instead of interpreting it as containing UTF-8
characters.

So you need:

(use syntax-case)
(use utf-8)
(import utf-8)

and then this will correctly return 249.
