'\201'

this should probably raise an exception.

every reference i can find on the web (and my linux
latin1(7) manual page) says they are 160-255...?

i think the reason for 128-159 characters not being used
might be that with the high bit stripped off they would be
ascii control characters and not printable.

u'\x81' is a perfectly valid Latin-1 character, in fact, the
first
256 Unicode characters are the Latin-1 characters.
