+The notation to express a Unicode code point in running text is as a
+hexadecimal number with four to six digits and uppercase letters, prefixed
+by the string "U+". Leading zeros are omitted, unless the code point would
+have fewer than four hexadecimal digits.
+For example, "U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A".
+To print a code point in the U+-notation, use the format string
+"U+%04"G_GINT32_FORMAT"X".
+To scan, use the format string "U+%06"G_GINT32_FORMAT"X".
