// Description: Unicode re-encoding using a sequence of smaller numbers in
//              place of a single large code for CJK, similarly for Indic,
//              and dissection of ligatures for other scripts.

// Class holds a "compression" of a unicharset to simplify the learning problem
// for a neural-network-based classifier.
// Objectives:
// 1 (CJK): Ids of a unicharset with a large number of classes are expressed as
//          a sequence of 3 codes with much fewer values.
//          This is achieved using the Jamo coding for Hangul and the Unicode
//          Radical-Stroke-index for Han.
// 2 (Indic): Instead of thousands of codes with one for each grapheme, re-code
//            as the unicode sequence (but coded in a more compact space).
// 3 (the rest): Eliminate multi-path problems with ligatures and fold confusing
//               and not significantly distinct shapes (quotes) togther, ie
//               represent the fi ligature as the f-i pair, and fold u+2019 and
//               friends all onto ascii single '
// 4 The null character and mapping to target activations:
//    To save horizontal coding space, the compressed codes are generally mapped
//    to target network activations without intervening null characters, BUT
//    in the case of ligatures, such as ff, null characters have to be included
//    so existence of repeated codes is detected at codebook-building time, and
//    null characters are embedded directly into the codes, so the rest of the
//    system doesn't need to worry about the problem (much). There is still an
//    effect on the range of ways in which the target activations can be
//    generated.
//
// The computed code values are compact (no unused values), and, for CJK,
// unique (each code position uses a disjoint set of values from each other code
// position). For non-CJK, the same code value CAN be used in multiple
// positions, eg the ff ligature is converted to <f> <nullchar> <f>, where <f>
// is the same code as is used for the single f.
