Re: specify unicode characters on command line

At this time you can not specify \u escapes in IM, It just does not understand them 
sorry.
Though if your shell scripting allows you can use UFT-8 strings directly, though unless you are doing direct 'non-shell-parsed' calls to command from a API like perl, that will probably not work.
The better method to handle utf-8 binary text is either from a file or stdin using the '@' string escape.
Converting unicodes into utf-8 is best done though other programs, like the GNU printf (under linux) or the perl printf.
See IM Examples.
