But that's just cheating - the UTF8 is still there, you only hide it...
Also, this way the UTF8 codes are hard-coded - if UTF8 is ever
deprecated or you want to write non-ASCII to a shell that doesn't
support UTF8, you'd have to change all these codes *manually*.
As far as I can see, all our codes *are* UTF-8 encoded (a least they
should be, IMHO), so why would we sneak our UTF8 in behind it's back (in
2017!) instead of just telling the compiler the encoding we are using?
