"%c" is interpreted at runtime according to the default string
encoding for that process. This depends on what the user's preferred
language is set to, but for English and most European languages it's
MacRoman. That choice makes sense for backward-compatibility
reasons, but nowadays it tends to be mostly an annoyance.
So it's definitely best to stick to Unicode-based mechanisms, like
"%C".
(By the way, in 10.5, GCC now allows you to use non-ascii characters
in string literals right in your source code. So there's no need to
construct a string with an ñ in it programmatically, as long as
you're building with Xcode 3.0.)
What will be the output encoding in this case ? GCC generate utf-8 or
it uses the source file encoding ?
