GCC and Unicode

Hi Folks, This isn't directly related to SUSE - I just happen to be using it, but I had a question about GCC's handling of an input file encoded as UTF-8. If I have something like char * lstr = Schöne Grüße Will the compiler compile this to UCS-4 internally, or just leave it as a byte sequence? Thanks in advance. Steve.
