I see. That's fine.

gettext will scan the source code, lifting from it any
strings marked for translation, that is, wrapped in _(). If
a string contains a literal unicode character it will be
preserved as is and put into gnumed.pot and subsequently
into each LANGUAGE.po file.

In case a string contains a '\uUNICODE_CODE_POINT' escape
sequence it doubles up the escaping slash and stores
'\\uUNICODE_CODE_POINT' into gnumed.pot/LANG.po.

So it all depends on what's in the source, except that
escape slashes are ... escaped :-)

To the best of my knowledge having unescaped unicode code
point escape slashes inside gnumed.pot (perhaps by manually
adding them) does _not_ work when translation is attempted
later on. But I haven't tested that theory.
