Hiya,
according to the manual:
A string enclosed between `$'' and `'' is processed the same
way as the string arguments of the print builtin, and the
resulting string is considered to be entirely quoted. A
literal `'' character can be included in the string by using
the `\'' escape.
But:
~$ print '<\u0041>'
<A>
~$ printf '%s\n' $'<\u0041>'
<>
~$ locale
LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15
