<p>The Unicode string is returned as a Unicode list, which is recognized as such since the Erlang shell uses the Unicode encoding. The Unicode list is valid input to the <seealso marker="stdlib:io#put_chars/2">io:put_chars/2</seealso> function, so data can be output on any Unicode capable device. If the device is a terminal, characters will be output in the <c>\x{</c>H ...<c>}</c> format if encoding is <c>latin1</c> otherwise in UTF-8 (for the non-interactive terminal - "oldshell" or "noshell") or whatever is suitable to show the character properly (for an interactive terminal - the regular shell). The bottom line is that you can always send Unicode data to the <c>standard_io</c> device. Files will however only accept Unicode codepoints beyond ISO-latin-1 if <c>encoding</c> is set to something else than <c>latin1</c>.</p>
