Dear Maintainer,
If I paste, say, "🇬🇧" onto the command line, it comes out looking like
reverse video "<0001f1ec><0001f1e7>".
That is, bash is using 8 hex digits to represent Unicode codepoints.
Given that Unicode only goes up to U+10FFFF (though the situation with
ISO 10646 seems a bit more hazy -- probably because it isn't freely
available), it's kind of silly to use 8 hex digits for the codepoints,
don't you think?

As of version 5.0, bash supports a wider range of the Unicode
specification and will simply output Unicode characters and leave their
rendering to the terminal, instead of representing them via their
hexadecimal codepoints.
