#! /bin/sh

doit() {
echo; echo ===== $I
printit "Привет мир."
printit "Emmanuel Macron"
printit "문재인"
printit "Enrique Peña Nieto"
printit "Владимир Путин"
printit "Donald Trump"
printit "习近平"
}
uname -a
for I in ash ksh dash csh tcsh zsh bash sh; do doit "$I"; done
... shows:
...
===== zsh
Привет мир. +++
Emmanuel Macron +++
문재인 +++
Enrique Peña Nieto +++
Владимир Путин +++
Donald Trump +++
习近平 +++
===== bash
Привет мир. +++
Emmanuel Macron +++
문재인 +++
Enrique Peña Nieto +++
