/etc/profile: printf: missing unicode digit for \u

[lazypingu]

More an observation than an issue:

I've noticed the following lines on startup:

/etc/profile: line 112: printf: missing unicode digit for \u
/etc/profile: line 116: printf: missing unicode digit for \u

Both printfs are located in the einfo function:

einfo() {
  output="$(printf "%b" "${*}")"
  ...
  printf "\033[1;34m *\033[0m %b\n" "${output}"
}

The print of "initrd=\EFI\Gentoo\ugrd-6.16.4-gentoo.cpio.xz", which I specified via efibootmgr turned out to be the root cause,
since it contains the \u.
If I prefix the file with something else or place it on the top of the efi directory the issue is gone.

So no big deal, just wanted to mention. Not sure if this could be solved easily. Might not be important anyways.

Thanks for pointing this out, I think this could maybe simply be solved if %s is used instead of %b. I forget if there was a reason for using %b instead of %s, I think I may have done that as a bit of a premature optimization in case I wanted to pass strings with formatting in them to printf, using %s is probably more reasonable but I need to double check if that wasn't used for a particular reason since there are not any comments/notes on that

I think %b is needed for the first output bit, but not needed in the actual printf portion
