            Bug ID: 263210
           Summary: printf does not support unicode hexa code
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: standards
          Assignee: standards@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: olivier@freebsd.org

printf (/usr/bin) and built-in from sh/tcsh shells doesn't allow to display
UTF-8 characters by using their hexa code.

Simple shell broken example (works using bash):

#!/bin/sh
echo "Trying to display UTF-8 character ⩽"
printf '\u2A7D\n'
