What makes bash print unicode charater ascii values?

I found what the problem is:
--disable-nls causes HAVE_ICONV being undefined and \uNNNN feature not work.

This is a bug, because "nls" refers to translations. I usually turn them off because I don't want to have messages in all possible languages installed. Interpretation of the general unicode characters that appear in scripts shouldn't be affected by NLS=off.

Since \uNNNN is a general feature, iconv should always be present, and failure to find it should cause configure stage to fail.

Is there a place I should create a bug report for this?
