            Bug ID: 22387
           Summary: Replace unicode sequences <Uxxxx> for characters
                    inside the ASCII printable range
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: claude at 2xlibre dot net
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Quoting Mike Fabian from #22382:

>> As a side note, I see less unicode sequence codes like <U0063> in locale
>> files. Do you have a new policy in place?

>We agreed that it is OK to use ASCII directly, so one has to use <U....>
>only for stuff which is not ASCII.

>> Would you like patches for more
>> global replacements for all files?

>I think yes. When we started to use more ASCII a while ago, we did not
>do global replacements and changed it only in the files we touched anyway
>to see whether it would cause any problems. As far as I know we did not
>encounter any problems so far, so it seems OK to do it globally.
