Since this is a Mac-specific thing (and Classic-originated at
that), I think you can be pretty sure that any non-ASCII value
is to be interpreted according to the Macintosh character set,
if it's meant to be a character at all.

So I would suggest using the Macintosh encoding when converting
these to and from unicode.
