Yes, these are lookup tables for character classification like
#isLetter and #isLowercase.

Now what bothers me more is that the character classification in Pharo
is dead slow. Other Smalltalk implementations have much more space and
time efficient implementations.

AFAIK the encoding just defines how characters are passed into the VM.
This does not affect how characters are represented inside.
