I applaud your efforts to get the tables into a uniform state. However
since your commit I get tons of warnings on `make check`[1]. This means
that we have many tables now that do not work. I was hoping to have a
release before my vacation on July 15th, but we cannot release with this
serious regression.
Before we change the encoding of the tables we need to either
- change the tables to use the \xhhhh notation or
- enhance compileTranslationTable.c to accept utf-8 in the opcode
arguments
Only once this is done we can safely change the encoding. Please revert
your changes.
Thanks
Christian

[1] in fact if compileTranslationTable.c would not continue to search
on the system path these warnings would be actual errors.
