I guess I don't understand the question. You have to specify the
character kind for any character thing that isn't the default
character kind. To my knowledge there are no cases where you can get
by without it.
The question would appear to reduce to when you would want to use a
non-default character kind. That might be for a character kind that
supports Greek or special characters (or any other language characters
for that matter).
Of course, since I've yet to run into a single compiler that actually
supports any character kind other than default, the question seems a
bit academic. (Though such compilers might exist in markets that I
just don't get exposed to - like in the orient). Not to say that
academic matters are out of place in a course :-) But one would want
to avoid giving the impression that such things are currently widely
available.
