I'm still a bit confused about trigraphs and national (European) letters. If I am programming in ANSI C in an environment using the Swedish national replacement character set, the Capital-O-with-dieresis character occupies the same code position as USASCII backslash.. How should I write a string containing this character? (The examples represent it by 'O'): "O" /* "something" understands that this isn't backslash */ "??/O" /* Trigraph-backslash quotes next character */ "??/??/" /* Quoted backslash which *I* know is quoted O */ For that matter, how does the compiler process a program written in America that doesn't use trigraphs, but does use \ (the same code position as O)?
