I think you’re asking about what string encoding is used to parse Swift source 
files. (String literals aren’t the only place non-ASCII characters can appear, 
since any identifier can contain them.) Pretty sure the answer is simply 
“UTF-8”.

Pretty certain the Swift book answers this — it’s got the whole language 
grammar in it — and pretty certain the answer is “yes”, but I don’t have time 
to look it up right now. Did you check?
