If the host encoding is ASCII, then I think non-ASCII characters in a
wide string should be printed as escapes.  This should always happen,
though see my series about string printing -- fully generic encoding
support when printing was not implemented for all languages, and that
series aims to unify it.  That is still pending some updates by me, and
some missing reviews.
