I get a compiler error when I try to put non-ASCII characters in 
a string literal in the inline assembler.

Is this part of the specifications?

It's not clear, see https://dlang.org/spec/iasm.html#raw_data:

"if an operand is a string literal, it is as if there were length 
operands, where length is the number of characters in the string"

db "e"; // ok
db "é"; // error

it seems that the second case should be accepted as db 195 db 169

BUG imo. length is 2. "é" should be interpreted as the 2 bytes of 
its data.
Something with decoding is wrong here.
