CCS Compiler and UTF-8 source code

[julienm]

Is CCS Compiler able to work with .c files encoded in UTF-8?
We have our entire repository in UTF-8 for compatibly reasons but I see a few characters like § or ° that don't show properly in CCS IDE.
I work with v5.080, will they compile fine?

Will probably cause issues.

The bottom 128 characters of UTF-8 are compatible with the standard
ASCII set. If only these are used, CCS should happily work. However if
you have characters that are displaying incorrectly, it almost certainly implies
that characters outside this range have been used. These may well cause
issues. Be aware that you could run the file through one of the online
UTF-8 to ASCII converters. The resulting file is still technically UTF-8
(since ASCII is a subset of UTF-8), but you can then edit any characters
that display incorrectly, and this will then be fully happy to be compiled.
