For Python I would have used a table of 0..255 functions, indexed by the

Once again, you forget that there are not 256 characters - there are

Strictly speaking, they're codepoints.

Only about 10% of codepoints are currently defined, and diacritics and the like classed aren't 'characters' as such.
