/sys/src/9/port/latin1.c contains these two useful routines for
converting character strings into unicode runes.  this is what the
keyboard driver uses to translate, eg, Latin, ':', ')' into the Unicode
smiley face character, for instance.

It seems as though this code could have utility outside of the kernel;
is there any reason not to move it into libc?
