Yes, from latin1, to their equivilent utf8 representation.
What we are asking John to do is to allow compileTable.c to accept utf8 (which
may be several bytes long for each character), rather than
having to write the unicode codepoint as \xhhhh
As you found out in your other email these are currently broken, as i pointed
out when i committed, they need either to be rewritten as \xhhhh
or the opcodes need to accept utf8 operands.
You will not get valid output from these opcodes until they are fixed, by one
of the above solutions.

No, you are quite right, it also helps me to check my understanding when I have
to explain :)
