ISO standard C99, also known as WG14/N1124: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf This document contains the text: > 6.4.3 Universal character names > Syntax > universal-character-name: > \u hex-quad > \U hex-quad hex-quad This syntax is also used in Java, Perl, Python, etc. The main place where it *doesn't* seem to work is gcc -- its "C99 status" document says \u and \U are supposed to be working, but I get screwy results.
