There's no such thing as "UTF-8 characters". UTF-8 is an encoding of
Unicode character set.
If you want to know whether language compilers and interpreters accept
UTF-8 encoded characters, then you will need to consult the
documentation of the relevant compiler. AFAIK, C/C++ compilers
support this only in recent versions. For Emacs Lisp, the answer is
YES, as the default encoding of ELisp files is UTF-8.
