Hi,
Arnold Robbins asked in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2009-02/msg00031.html>:

The character set that matters for gperf is, in ISO C 99 speak, the
"execution character set" of your compilation + execution environment.
I don't know what you mean by the "character set for the identifiers" -
possibly the "source character set"?
Currently gperf emits code that will verify that the execution character set
is based on ISO-646 (ASCII or variant of it). This check has been added in
2003, and no one has reported a compilation failure due to it since then.
If someone were to report one, for a relevant platform (not a museum system),
gperf could be extended to emit code for other execution character sets
as well.
