+uni2ascii provides conversion in both directions between UTF-8 Unicode
+and more than thirty 7-bit ASCII equivalents, including HTML numeric
+character references, various escapes and hexadecimal. Such ASCII
+equivalents are useful when including Unicode text in program source,
+when debugging, and when entering text into web programs that can
+handle the Unicode character set but are not 8-bit safe.
