Standard list based string literals of course do not work. Each byte of
a UTF-8 encoded string becomes a separate integer in the resulting list.

Simply using UTF-8 without changing the parsing process does only work
with binary string literals. For binaries it does not matter whether the
parser treats code points encoded in multiple bytes as a whole or as
separate bytes.
