Not in a text file. Not even sure you can in a (x)html file (for the
different regions in a same file).

Are? Only dlls/kernel/lcformat.c contain easily spotted UTF-8 sequences
in a source file. It (in Julio César Gázquez's name) comes from the old
ole/ole2nls.c. Alexandre moved some functions to their current location,
and while copying over the authors names, UTF-8'd them (they were in
Latin-9 before, also known as ISO-8859-1 (or 15)). I don't know if it
was willingly or a side effect of his editor (the change is dated May
22, 2003).

Should we keep it as is (and convert the other parts to UTF-8 at the
same time), or should we change it back?

Various .rc files also contain UTF-8 sequences, almost all in Nl.rc
files for e umlaut and i umlaut. I'm unable to make them print correctly
when output by Wine (ie, I see the individual UTF-8 bytes, not the
intended result). Hans, did you provide your translations in UTF-8
format by any chance? I think this should be corrected for that language
(and others if others have the same issue), as .rc files are encoded in
a language-specific pagecode, which is most likely not UTF-8.

"Ascii" strings in UTF-8? Or Wide-char strings (or chars) in UTF-8?

The first looks like non-sense, while I don't think the second would
work out ok unless gcc understands UTF-8 (ie, is 'Ã¥' accepted by gcc as
a single char representing the same thing as 'å' if LANG=*.UTF-8, or is
it understood as "warning: multi-character character constant"? My
current testing points me to the warning.).

For the comments, it's mainly an editor thing (some do support UTF-8,
some don't). Of course, mail programs can also change the encoding while
attaching or inlining patches...
