[Bug c++/33415] New: Can't compile .cpp file with UTF-8 BOM.

[huzheng_001 at 163 dot com]

As I need to port my project to vs2005, and the source code contain some UTF-8
string which is not suitable to represent by escaping, I have to add UTF-8 BOM
to make vs2005 recognize it. But after I added the UTF-8 BOM, gcc can't compile
it anymore, even using -finput-charset=UTF-8, it still say error about \357
\273 \277.
Can you fix this problem?

escaping is troublesome as too many of them and make the source code
unreadable.
vs2005 surely need UTF-8 BOM.
While gcc can't accept UTF-8 BOM presently.

Thank you!
