Oddly enough it seems to have resolved itself after my libc recompile with debug symbols. ifrit ~ # echo $BASH_VERSION 4.3.48(1)-release
Before the libc recompile with debug symbols regardless of locale, the printf builtin was just printing "\u200b\n" as "\u200B" The problem seems to have resolved itself now though so please disregard, apologies for wasting everyone's time. ifrit ~ # echo $BASH_VERSION 4.3.48(1)-release ifrit ~ # printf "\u30b7\n" シ ifrit ~ # printf "\u200b\n" > On 11/9/17 4:16 PM, e...@onlythechosen.com wrote: >> The new version of bash >> doesn't seem to let me echo unicode properly, so I would be greatly >> interested in figuring out what is wrong. > > Which new version of bash, exactly?
