Unicode. CPP uses the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode.
-At present, GNU CPP does not implement conversion from arbitrary file

-may cause errors even if non-ASCII characters appear only in comments.
-We plan to fix this in the near future.
+The character sets of the input files are specified using the

All preprocessing work (the subject of the rest of this manual) is
carried out in the source character set. If you request textual
