More portably, something like L"\U000000c4uglein" (but using the proper
UCS-4 code for 'Ä' -- somebody German could find it more easily than
I could!) would be better. This will get replaced by the encoding known
to the compiler, which may be Unicode (in which case the code is
unchanged) or it may be something else (such as ISO-8859-1, or 0xc4).
