DMD will automatically detect and work correctly with UTF-16 and UTF-32 encoded
source files. The logic to do this is in module.c of the compiler source code.

If it does not work with a particular UTF-16 encoded file, please attach that
file to this bug report. Note that UTF-16 encoded files are not encoded using a
code page.

If a source file is encoded with a particular code page, there is no way for
the compiler to automatically detect it. C compilers often have a command line
flag which is used to tell it what code page to use. Using code pages,
therefore, makes your source code completely non-portable which is one of the
reasons why D uses Unicode instead.
