Thank you very much for this list! Do you know which are the compilers and compiler versions that
are minimally required for this?

As far as I know, this may work for 32-bit AIX executables, and may work only for ASCII characters
because wchar_t is not guaranteed to be 16-bit Unicode, right?
For 64-bit AIX executables, wchar_t is either 32-bit Unicode or, for one of the zh_TW locales,
something else.

Yes, but that macro only works if all of your compilers support some form of this syntax. This is
unfortunately not true for our project at this time. It makes me hopeful though that compiler makers
are adding support for 16-bit Unicode string literals.
