In windows version C:B,the source files will not save by UTF-8 format. Gcc will report error if there are some local characters (eg. á é í ó ú ñ Ñ É 中文) in the source files. If we convert the source files to UTF-8 format manually with other applications this problem will overcome.

Yes there is. Click-

1) Edit > File encoding > UTF-8.
2) Edit > File encoding > Save byte-order-mark (BOM)

The second option is necessary if you want to force every source files to be detected as UTF-8.

Try adding -finput-charset=utf-8 to compiler options.

Rather, add no option, and don't use that byte order mark. UTF-8 is gcc's default encoding.
