That may only demonstrate Latin-1 support, but full Unicode is still
there. The base library includes one non-ASCII character in the
include files:

   Pi : constant :=
          3.14159_26535_89793_23846_26433_83279_50288_41971_69399_37511;
   π : constant := Pi;

If you're looking at the current Ada standard, Ada 2012, it explicitly
references ISO/IEC 10646:2011.
