If you include some character constants outside the us-ascii set, you should always tell the compiler how to evaluate them, because the evaluation depends on the used encoding; especially if you intend to use those for Unicode specific types (characters or strings). The only alternative not requiring the compiler to evaluate the constants using certain encoding would be something like using the internally expected format and putting the values there directly as sequence of bytes using e.g. an absolute construct mapped to the same memory area, but that is probably neither efficient nor very wise considering necessity to rely on compiler internals...
