Is this the concern? $ fgrep '(C)' jc.h | wc -l 181 If the limitation is that we run out of code points when that number hits 255, we might implement a different approach. For example, we might implement an "extension" code point displays as a zero width string and which introduces an alternate significance for the following "code point".
