   integer, parameter                           :: a = selected_char_kind(’ASCII’)
   character(len=:,kind=u),allocatable          :: lineout

   character(len=*,kind=u)                      :: line
   character(len=1,kind=u),intent(in),optional  :: escape

   implicit none
   integer, parameter                    :: u = selected_char_kind(’ISO_10646’)
   character(kind=u, len=:), allocatable :: string
      open (output_unit, encoding=’utf-8’)
