No more so that the well-established int foo = 'A';

> Documentation?

I am sure I did not invent the syntax. I saw it somewhere in the docs.

> Portability of e.g. "int foo = 'ABC';":

What about it? Just like the well-established int foo = 'A';

> Blank/null fill?

Just like for the well-established int foo = 'A'; the characters are 
low-order-justified and filled on the high side with zeros.

> left/right justified?

Same as for int x = 1;

> big/small-endian?

No more of an issue than for the well-established int foo = 'A';
