Using GNAT GPL 2005 on Ubuntu for translating this program,
it works just fine. (The directory has entries "Hällü.file" and "ぁ".)

Linux based OSs tend to use UTF-8 throughout, i.e. 8bit bytes.
This is probably the advantage here. (Perhaps many western programmers
think that a seven segment display is quite sufficent, because they
are used to it. ;-)
