C's machinery is very different. Annex D applies to
universal-character-names and there is no conversion of characters not in
the basic source character set to ucns. From the C working draft - " An
implementation may allow multibyte characters that are not part of the
basic source character set to appear in identifiers; which characters and
their correspondence to universal character names is
implementation-defined." and Annex D: " This clause lists the hexadecimal
code values that are valid in universal character names in identifiers." It
appears that the list in Annex D is the same as currently in C++, and is a
superset of UAX 31 identifiers.
