Was an RT ticket ever created for the underlying parrot issue here?

Need unicode support for \u escapes, and for "string wordend", "string wordstart", "string is", "string bytelength", etc.
You can currently create unicode strings in parrot, but you can't get them into utf-8, which means you can't easily print them out.
