1478 bytes

I thought I would be cute and write a conversion routine to migrate the
unicode characters back to the original  8 bit bytes.  But my little test
program shows that a several of 8 bit values in the x80 through x9F range
are translated to the same unicode value!  For instance

   \x81 = \uFFFD
  \x8D= \uFFFD
  \x8F= \uFFFD
  \x90= \uFFFD

So it appears I must find a way to read these bytes "correctly" from the
get-go!  Any ideas would be appreciated!
