    Unhappy Digraph sequence cannot be included in another token string. Why is that?

    If a digraph sequence occurs inside another token, for example a quoted string, or a character constant, it will not be replaced.

    Many compilers choose to opt-out on digraphs and trigraphs or impose their own rules on them, like not being able to occur inside a string. They were always kind-of a niche thing, useless to almost everyone.
