Latin1 identifiers are deprecated, see [1].

Yes IIRC they can contain arbitrary *bytes*. But a forward looking habit would be to stick to UTF-8 encoded literals rather use arbitrary bytes and avoid US-ASCII control characters except for white space.

Yes. Strictly speaking because of the preceeding you can UTF-16 encode the string literals, but for the rest of the program that wouldn't work, the lexer wouldn't recognize the keywords.

Yes. 

Best,
