           Summary: Clang writes ObjC string literals as UTF-16 if they
                    contain UTF-8 characters
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: js-llvm-bugzilla at webkeks.org

When using @"a", Clang outputs an ASCII a in the .s file. If however an UTF-8
encoded @"ä" is used, Clang translates this to UTF-16 and writes it in UTF-16
into the .s file. However, there is NO way of detecting the encoding of the
string. You have to guess whether Clang used UTF-16 or ASCII.

The expected behaviour would be that Clang writes the string into the .s file
just the way it was in the source file.
