Currently, GNU cpp only supports character sets that are strict supersets
of ASCII, and performs no translation of characters.
+@item Identifier characters.
+@anchor{Identifier characters}
+
+The C and C++ standards allow identifiers to be composed of @samp{_}
+and the alphanumeric characters. C++ and C99 also allow universal
+character names (not implemented in GCC), and C99 further permits
+implementation-defined characters.
+
+GCC allows the @samp{$} character in identifiers as an extension for
+most targets. This is true regardless of the @option{std=} switch,
+since this extension cannot conflict with standards-conforming
+programs. Currently the targets that by default do not permit
+@samp{$} are AVR, IP2K, MMIX, MIPS Irix 3, ARM aout, and PowerPC
+targets for the AIX and BeOS operating systems.
+
+You can override the default with @option{-fdollars-in-identifiers} or
+@option{fno-dollars-in-identifiers}. @xref{fdollars-in-identifiers}.
