I'd imagine (although I haven't tried it) that one would need to
modify the generated code to use wchar_t instead of char. Anybody
tried this or gotten it to work?

Are there any similar C++ tools which support Unicode input?

[It's not that simple, lex uses character values as indexes into
arrays, and you might not want to have a lot of 64K arrays in your
code. I believe that Plan 9 has a unicode version of lex, might want
to see what they did. -John]
