 Description   

The documentation on support for characters states:

Characters in the ISO 8859 extended character set are also supported.

But for this source code ...

/* The last character in this string is tilde-N */
char test_string[] = "tilde-N: ñ";

The compiler issues this diagnostic ...

% tiarmclang -c file.c
file.c:2:32: warning: illegal character encoding in string literal [-Winvalid-source-encoding]
char test_string[] = "tilde-N: <F1>";
                               ^~~~
