See my earlier post on building Python as a Windows 8 Metro App. As one strategy, I tried compiling Python as C++ code (as it wasn't clear whether C is fully supported; this is now resolved). It is actually feasible to change Python so that it compiles with a C++ compiler and still continues to compile as C also, with just a few ifdefs. This is, of course, off-topic wrt. the original question: even C++11 compilers often don't support non-ASCII identifiers.
