As Trass3r said, the source code must be saved in a standard Unicode 
encoding. UTF-8 just works.

If your editor is UTF-8, then you should be able to use a Finnish 
keyboard or copy/paste from another source like a web page or a character 
map program in your system. (I use Emacs under Ubuntu with a Turkish 
quail keyboard mapping, which has been designed by me.)

 Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I am getting "Invalid UTF-8
 sequence" errors.

Could you please show a simple program?

 
 Thanks,
