This is the full set of details for documentation.
big.char only currently supports the basic ASCII character set, with numeric values up to 127. And surprising things may happen with special characters like tab and end-of-line; of course they look like two characters, but are really one. And surprising things may happen with ASCII codes for things like DELETE. If someone had the value 127 in a big.char data structure, this would then extract as the octal code \177 for DELETE, also a single character value. At this point, our goal is to support characters as you would expect in data analysis 99.9
