The \u2022 syntax is for the linux "printf" statement not for IM.
This "printf" converts the \u2022 to the UTF-8 format for the TrueType
library.
Perl can do this too but uses strings like...
perl -e 'binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8"); \
print "\x{6d4b}\x{8bd5}\x{7528}\x{7684}\x{6c49}\x{5b57}\n";'
My raw notes on this is in
http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/info/misc/unicode.hints
These notes also explains how the UTF-8 converts between unicode numbers
and UTF-8 strings. (a single characetrs may be 3 bytes long!)
NOTE all this is seperate to the chinese gb2312 encoding which
uses two bytes (the first being a meta-character) to encode 16 bit
characters for chinese web pages and documents (pre-dates unicode).
For that you can use "iconv" to convert...
iconv -f gb2312 -t utf8 text.gb > tex.utf8
But iconv often 'bombs' if the text is for some reason trashed at a
single character.
