The JLS specifies that source code is either in ISO-Latin-1 or UNICODE.
(ISO-Latin-1 is page 0 UNICODE)
Now, how this affects the native system and possible problems with
filesystems that do not support full ISO-Latin-1 or UNICODE since the
class names are also used in the file name.
So, while Java should support this, there may be issues related to the
interface with the OS and/or limitations of the OS if the class name
has characters that are "outside" the scope of the OS.
