Yes, it works perfectly. Many thanks!

1-Do you know some resources where I can learn more about it (escape
sequences for UTF-8 and related stuff)?
2-Now I need to put this "echo" on some persistent way, to be executed
every time I restart my computer. I have tried /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but
rc.local runs as a last step on initialization, and I need it to run
before any syslog messages be sent.

Thanks.
