24.3.1 Source File Encoding

Under the CCI, a source file must be written using characters from the 7-bit ASCII set. Lines can be terminated using a line feed (\n) or carriage return (\r) that is immediately followed by a line feed. Escaped characters can be used in character constants or string literals to represent extended characters that are not in the basic character set.

Example

The following shows a string constant being defined that uses escaped characters.

const char myName[] = "Bj\370rk\n";

Differences

All compilers have used this character set.
