P> You need to have the proper locale support.

Could it be that the Taiwanese mentioned on
http://www.grassouille.org/blogmax/041009.html have made
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 proper and LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.big5 improper. All I
know is that the former works and the latter doesn't here on Debian.

P> I'm not sure what "qp-encode" is supposed to do

qp-encode is just so I can show in ASCII what is produced.

P> I think that's fixed in CVS, as printf --help outputs this:

P>   ...
P>   \uNNNN  character with hexadecimal value NNNN (4 digits)
P>   \UNNNNNNNN  character with hexadecimal value NNNNNNNN (8 digits)
P>   ...

P> and the man page is similar.

But does it mention the word "Unicode" even once? I think it is worth
mentioning that word.
