Dear Maintainer,
On both of the above versions, on both LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 and
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8, I get:
-- >8 --
$ for i in $(seq 0 255); do /bin/printf '\U'$(printf '%08X' $i)'\n'; done 2>&1
| paste - - - -
/bin/printf: invalid universal character name \U00000000 /bin/printf:
invalid universal character name \U00000001
Right. This is an explicit restriction in printf(1)
which comes from the C standard. That's so that
C compilers that don't support universal characters
don't have to consider them in other contexts.
Now printf(1) is not C, so we should lift this restriction I think.
I'll do that upstream now.
thanks,
Pádraig
