  asInteger doesn't return the unicode code point.  Since Unicode is a
21-bit character set, we have otherwise unused bits in a word.  At the
same time, bare Unicode character lacks the information (basically)
how to present themselves.  So, we put a few more bits there to
distinguish some "unified" characters.

  There is a method called #charCode, that gives you the bare Unicode
code point.  #leadingChar returns the upper bits that denotes the
"language tag".
