Go source code is explicitly encoded in UTF-8, a design choice co-created by Go's own authors Ken Thompson and Rob Pike. This means any Unicode text can be unambiguously written in Go source files without special runtime modules or encoding ambiguity. The Go spec treats each Unicode code point as a distinct character, with implementation restrictions around NUL characters and byte order marks. The Go Playground's default Hello World program demonstrates this with simplified Chinese characters.
