character set. It must be isomorphic with ISO 10646, also known as
Unicode. CPP uses the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode.

+The character sets of the input files are specified using the

All preprocessing work (the subject of the rest of this manual) is
carried out in the source character set. If you request textual
