All Ada systems must support the use of character literals
for all wide character values, including this one. However,
it is implementation dependent what the representation of
such character values is

(this is not surprising, ALL representation issues in Ada source
programs are implementation dependent, the standard has nothing
to say about the representation of source programs).

So you have to check your implementation. GNAT provides half
a dozen different encoding schemes (see GNAT users's guide)
