Hmm, don't you mean "M-W\x01\x02\x03"?

As far as I've understood, the character set translation takes place at
a later stage where the escapes are no longer available, i.e., the
translator doesn't know if you typed "M" (which you would like to have
translated) or "\x4d" (which you would like to be passed as such).

The parameters to sprintf are not char constants, are they?
