Though those (anything beyond 127) are not ASCII. That is an extension
from ASCII to 8-bit, and the characters can vary with the encoding
used.

The central problem is IDL's lack of Unicode support. Which languages
created recently (like Java) have builtin, at the source code level,
and other old languages support in varying levels of awkward retrofit.
