It is simply utf8 support:

lennartsorensen:/tmp# LANG=C.UTF-8 gcc -c test.c
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:10:2: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘printf’
  printf("[%.2x][%.2x] -> %d\n", input[0], input[1], value);
  ^
lennartsorensen:/tmp# LANG=C gcc -c test.c
test.c: In function 'main':
test.c:10:2: error: expected ';' before 'printf'
  printf("[%.2x][%.2x] -> %d\n", input[0], input[1], value);
  ^

The quotes around the function name and other things change to fancy
begin/end quotes when unicode support is detected in the chosen LANG.
