Until C+1x is finalized, we cannot rely on the new Unicode string 
literals U"xxx".  So, the only portable way in C89 or C99 to encode byte 
sequences is with octal or hex escapes, rather than via literal 
characters.  Daniel is right that you cannot portably have 8-bit bytes 
in C source code, because the compilation is then locale-dependent, and 
will do different things depending not only on the compiler, but on the 
locale of the person doing the compilation.
