PS. I'm fully aware that there are ranges defined in page 14 / E.
They're non-printing characters, and unlikely to be part of a text
string, although it is possible. So you can't shortcut things and
treat Unicode as 18-bit numbers; has to be 20-bit. Doesn't have to be
32-bit unless that's really convenient.
