#
# Decoding mappings must map single string characters to single
# Unicode characters, integers (which are then interpreted as Unicode
# ordinals) or None (meaning "undefined mapping" and causing an
# error).
#
# Encoding mappings must map single Unicode characters to single
# string characters, integers (which are then interpreted as Latin-1
# ordinals) or None (meaning "undefined mapping" and causing an
# error).
#
# The mapping objects provided must only support the __getitem__
# mapping interface.
#
# If a character lookup fails with a LookupError, the character is
# copied as-is meaning that its ordinal value will be interpreted as
# Unicode or Latin-1 ordinal resp. Because of this, mappings only need
# to contain those mappings which map characters to different code
# points.
