## What is this?

This is a map from the [HTML spec][source] of C1 ASCII/Unicode control
characters (which are disallowed by HTML) to the characters those code points
would have in Windows 1252.
For example, U+0080 (Padding Character) maps to `€`, because that’s used for
0x80 in Windows 1252.

## When should I use this?

Probably never, unless you’re dealing with parsing HTML or similar XML-like
things, or in a place where Unicode is not the primary encoding (it is in most
places).
