The C99 standard allows but does not mandate multibyte source
characters.(Section 5.2.1.2 Multibyte characters). It also allows a
multibyte execution character set whose encoding might be different than
the source character set.

Required are the 26 uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, the 10
decimal digits, 29 punctuation and graphic symbols, plus space,
horizontal & vertical tab and form feed, all of which are in the 7-bit
ASCII set. (@ $ ` <DEL> are not required).
