I understand, but what I meant was that we can try to enforce ASCII
encoding on the platforms that support it and other platforms it will
also be able to compile the source, in contrast if we go to UTF-8 there
is no way for me to tell Jikes that it should treat the source as UTF-8.

No, it doesn't.
