1866	pretty-print and pp does not print UTF-8 characters	Kirill Lisovskiy		"csi 6 (installed from https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2025/10/25/chicken-6.0.0pre2.tar.gz):
Version 6.0.0pre2 (rev e4e9ea4d)
linux-unix-gnu-x86-64 [ 64bit dload ptables ]
(import (chicken pretty-print)) 
(pp ""été"")
=> ""\xe9;t\xe9;""

(pretty-print ""été"") has the same problem in Chicken 6, 

Unicode code point for é is U+00E9
(display ""\xe9;"") => é
(display ""é"" => é
both work. print and write also work fine.
Could it be that interpretations of backslashes is disabled ?

csi 5: 
Version 5.2.0 (rev 317468e4)
(import (chicken pretty-print)) 
(pp ""été"") 
=>  ""été""
