%C is probably formally correct as the code published by 3M uses byte
semantics. %U is incorrect as it uses character semantics, but we'll not
see the difference except when using multibyte characters.

The checksum should be on the values of the bytes in the message (i.e.
in most cases the encoding is irrelevant).
(unfortunately 3M don't clarify if they treat the bytes as signed or
unsigned the just assume...)
One wonders when was the last time that the checksum usefully caught
corruption in a message... one suspects not for a long time.
