If I remember correctly, we voted this paper http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2653.htm into C23 at the last meeting so you probably want to refer to this as it changes things.

Thanks,

Looking at N 2731 http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2731.pdf to see how conversion from source encoding to u8 literal is handled, I notice that 6.4.5 String Literals para 6 says "For UTF–8 string literals, the array elements have type char", although in 6.4.4.4 Character Constants para 12 it says "A UTF–8 character constant has type unsigned char."

Is the inconsistency a bug or deliberate?
