Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 35
Release Status: release
Description:
bash's printf does not understand \u and \U although the man page says it
supports all expressions that printf(1) supports.
The man page says the bash printf supports the standard printf(1) escape
sequences. \u and \U are not standard escape sequences.
They are on the list for possible inclusion in a future release.

Just few links;
Opengroup printf utility specification[1], there is not any note about
\u or \U format.
Coreutils printf has this extension [2], but there is not any note, from
where it comes or what it is specific for.
