The man page says that bash builtin printf supports the standard printf(1) formats. But it seems that \uHHHH is not working:
$ /usr/bin/printf '\u212b\n' Å $ printf '\u212b\n' \u212b Am I doing something wrong here? I see the same behavior with GNU bash, version 3.2.13(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. and with GNU bash, version 3.2.33(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. on two different computers. Thanks
