That won't work for anything except narrow characters. How do you do a binary

  char16_t c16[] = u"something";
  char32_t c32[] = U"something";

Right, but std::embed should have its own semantic, regardless of text
interpretation. It just imports bytes, period. That is orthogonal to the
encoding of the source code that called std::embed().
