Basically Erlang doesn't really support anything but plain ascii
today. However the usage of non-ascii characters should not
lead to compile time errors, only to ugly printouts.

-module(a).
-compile(export_all).

a() ->
    "åääää".

This is supposed to be a string with swedish characters, see we also
have non-ascii chars. I hope this shows up ok in your mailreader ....,
Hmmmm ... mail .... another system with far from perfect non-ascii
support.

{ok,a}

"\345\344\344\344\344"
