The C TR provides additional string literals and character constants.  See 
below.

5.1 String literals and character constants notations

The notations for string literals and character constants for char16_t are 
defined analogous to the wide character string literals and wide character 
constants:

      u"s-char-sequence"

denotes a char16_t type string literal and initializes an array of 
char16_t.

The corresponding character constant is denoted by

      u'c-char-sequence'

and has the type char16_t . Likewise, the string literal and character 
constant for char32_t are,

      U"s-char-sequence" and

      U'c-char-sequence'.
