Your point?

"MIT Scheme uses a 16-bit character code with 5 bucky bits. Normally,
Scheme uses the least significant 7 bits of the character code to 
contain the ASCII representation for the character."

I think this just confirms my contention that characters with bucky bits
are a hold-over from the old ASCII-only days.
