ISO standard C99, also known as WG14/N1124:
    http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf

This document contains the text:
> 6.4.3 Universal character names
> Syntax
>        universal-character-name:
>               \u hex-quad
>               \U hex-quad hex-quad

This syntax is also used in Java, Perl, Python, etc.  The main place 
where it *doesn't* seem to work is gcc -- its "C99 status" document 
says \u and \U are supposed to be working, but I get screwy results.
