Hi there,
I just found out that the preprocessor on plan 9 doesn't like utf. I
hope I am wrong, but just try to compile something like

# include <u.h>
# include <libc.h>

# define =CE=93VAL 12

void main(void);

void
main()
{
	int =CE=B2;

	=CE=B2 =3D =CE=93VAL;
	while(=CE=B2 < 15)
		print("%d\n", =CE=B2++);
	exits(nil);
}

and you get a "syntax in #define" error that points to the define
line. Remove (or replace) the utf character and everything works as
expected.
