What change in documentation do you suggest?

https://github.com/dafny-lang/dafny/blob/master/docs/Compilation/StringsAndChars.md#printing-strings-and-characters contains the relevant content, but since it affects user-observable behavior some degree of it should be added to https://dafny.org/dafny/DafnyRef/DafnyRef#sec-print-statement. In particular --unicode-char true mode intentionally makes printing nested string values not work as expected in all cases, in the name of consistent behavior across all backends.
