 * ===========================
 *
 * This is UTF-8 character data. It is indexed into by b2b3 in the ranges dataset.
 *
 * Mappings may overlap.
 *
 * ASCII-Only
 * ==========
 *
 * Neither the section index nor the ranges data use bit 0x80 anywhere. That means the data is
 * strictly ASCII. This is intended to make it efficient to encode this data as a string, and to
 * index into it as a string.
