+<h3 class="section">1.1 Character sets</h3>
+
+<p>Source code character set processing in C and related languages is
+rather complicated. The C standard discusses two character sets, but
+there are really at least four.
+</p>
+<p>The files input to CPP might be in any character set at all. CPP&rsquo;s
+very first action, before it even looks for line boundaries, is to
+convert the file into the character set it uses for internal
+processing. That set is what the C standard calls the <em>source</em>
+character set. It must be isomorphic with ISO 10646, also known as
+Unicode. CPP uses the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode.
+</p>
+<p>The character sets of the input files are specified using the
+<samp>-finput-charset=</samp> option.
+</p>
+<p>All preprocessing work (the subject of the rest of this manual) is
+carried out in the source character set. If you request textual
+output from the preprocessor with the <samp>-E</samp> option, it will be
+in UTF-8.
+</p>
+<p>After preprocessing is complete, string and character constants are
+converted again, into the <em>execution</em> character set. This
+character set is under control of the user; the default is UTF-8,
+matching the source character set. Wide string and character
+constants have their own character set, which is not called out
+specifically in the standard. Again, it is under control of the user.
+The default is UTF-16 or UTF-32, whichever fits in the target&rsquo;s
+<code>wchar_t</code> type, in the target machine&rsquo;s byte
+order.<a name="DOCF1" href="#FOOT1"><sup>1</sup></a> Octal and hexadecimal escape sequences do not undergo
+conversion; <tt>'\x12'</tt> has the value 0x12 regardless of the currently
+selected execution character set. All other escapes are replaced by
+the character in the source character set that they represent, then
+converted to the execution character set, just like unescaped
+characters.
+</p>
+<p>In identifiers, characters outside the ASCII range can be specified
+with the &lsquo;<samp>\u</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>\U</samp>&rsquo; escapes or used directly in the input
+encoding. If strict ISO C90 conformance is specified with an option
+such as <samp>-std=c90</samp>, or <samp>-fno-extended-identifiers</samp> is
+used, then those constructs are not permitted in identifiers.

+<h3><a name="FOOT1" href="#DOCF1">(1)</a></h3>
+<p>UTF-16 does not meet the requirements of the C
+standard for a wide character set, but the choice of 16-bit
+<code>wchar_t</code> is enshrined in some system ABIs so we cannot fix
+this.</p>
