using UTL_FILE and HEXTORAW()

need to write "binary" data, specifically a record separator byte (x1E), to a file. When I do so using "UTL_FILE.put_line(file_handle, HEXTORAW("1E"));" I end up with an ASCII hex string of "1" "E", two bytes not one with 0x1E followed by "newline."

1. is put_line converting the HEXTORAW() output back to a string?
2. how can I write a byte of x1E to a UTL_FILE.FOPEN() handle?

Thanks in advance.
