ASCII is dead as it should be.  It goes back to the telegraph era
(i.e. Morse code).  The first 32 bytes (except EOL, LF, and CR)
of ASCII are transmission control codes that are no longer relevant.

ASCII has been incorporated first into ISO-8859-1 and now into
UTF-8, which is (or should be) the global standard.

But what happened to the first 32 bytes of UTF-8?  Obviously
LF and CR are still there, but have the former control codes
been replaced by other, and more meaningful, code points?

As far as I know, the first 32 bytes (except CR and LF) are
just dead space.  Is this correct?
