Because the coding is only supported in string literals.
But I'm not sure exactly why.
The why is the same as why we write in English on this newsgroup.
Not because English is better, but because that leaves a single
language for everyone to use to communicate in. If you allow
non-ASCII characters in symbol names, your source code will be
unviewable (and uneditable) for people with ASCII-only terminals,
never mind how comprehensible it might otherwise be. It is a
least-common-denominator argument, not a "this is better"
argument.
