It is tempting to assume the use of [US ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII) encoding and checking only for characters in that range. For example it is very common to see code in Elixir checking `codepoint in ?a..?z` to check for lowercase alphabetic characters. When the underlying programming language has no canonical form for a string beyond bytes this may be considered acceptable - the programmer is defining the script domain as he or she sees fit.

However Elixir string are declared to be [UTF8 encoded Unicode string](https://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#utf8-1) it seems appropriate to make it easier to determine the characteristics of codepoints (and strings) using this standard.
