I meant a preprocessor to take source code in some random encoding and convert it into ASCII with '\uhhhh' escape sequences. If there was such a thing, then we could all use it and save re-implementing N different encodings in each compiler.
Any reason to prefer \u to e.g. UTF-8 or -32 or some other standard encoding? -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
