>Description:
(I've marked this as "preprocessor" since that's used for lexing both C99 and C++, but this is probably more complicated that that...)

The following is legal in both c99 and C++, but is rejected by both:

int x\u0394;

Note that this isn't just an issue of parsing the input.  The correct translation to the target symbol is also required (this my be governed by machine conventions and/or object file  or linker restrictions).
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the example above with -std=c99 (for C) or the C++ compiler.
