I have not found a problem with the code for the uplow opcode yet. In
any case, it only occurs if one tries to override a rule for a character
with another rule.
liblouis has two ways of entering Unicode, wither as UTF-8 or in the
form \xhhhh where hhhh is four hexadecimal digits.
liblouis is usually compiled for 16-bit characters, but it can be
compiled for 32-bit.
