I don't understand.

If your source has no BOM and you don't say -gnatW8, GNAT expects
Latin-1 encoding. If your source has a BOM or you say -gnatW8, GNAT
expects UTF8 encoding (I haven't tried what happens if you use NFD).

I haven't tried giving UTF8 coding without BOM or -gnatW8 - ignoring the
use in unit names - ARM 2.1(16) says it should be accepted.

(later) UTF8 is accepted in strings but not in identifiers.
