new(): The constructor.
name(): A descriptive name for the code point.
marc(): A string representing the MARC-8 bytes codes.
ucs(): A string representing the UCS code point in hex.
charset_code(): The MARC-8 character set code.

marc_value(): The string representing the MARC-8 encoding.
charset_name(): Returns the name of the character set, instead of the code.
to_string(): Returns a stringified version of the object.
marc8_hash_code(): Returns a hash code for this Code object for looking up the object
using MARC8. First portion is the character set code and the second is the MARC-8 value.
utf8_hash_code(): Returns a hash code for uniquely identifying a Code by it's UCS value.
default_charset_group: Returns 'G0' or 'G1' indicating where the character is typicalling used in the MARC-8 environment.
