Must be a GNUism. On HP-UX: imadev:~$ /usr/bin/printf "\u20AC\n" u20AC imadev:~$ printf "\u20AC\n" \u20AC Wonder why the HP-UX printf(1) is eating the first backslash... *shrug*. OpenBSD gives a warning: cyclops:~$ /usr/bin/printf "\u20AC\n" printf: unknown escape sequence `\u' u20AC cyclops:~$ echo $? 1 Then again, OpenBSD doesn't even have locale(1).
