UTF-8 is safe to use. Byte order marks at the beginning of the file will cause an error. +An RTLIL file is a stream of bytes. Strictly speaking, a ``character'' in an RTLIL file is a single byte. The lexer treats multi-byte encoded characters as consecutive single-byte characters. While other encodings \textit{may} work, UTF-8 is known to be safe to use. Byte order marks at the beginning of the file will cause an error. ASCII spaces (32) and tabs (9) separate lexer tokens. |
