@defun make-char charset &rest byte-values
This function returns the character in character set @var{charset}
identified by @var{byte-values}.  This is roughly the inverse of
@code{split-char}.  Normally, you should specify either one or two
@var{byte-values}, according to the dimension of @var{charset}.  For
example,

@example
(make-char 'latin-iso8859-1 72)
     @result{} 2248
@end example

(split-char 2176)
     @result{} (latin-iso8859-1 0)
@end example

The character sets @sc{ascii}, @sc{eight-bit-control}, and
@sc{eight-bit-graphic} don't have corresponding generic characters.

@defun make-char charset &optional code1 code2
This function returns the character in character set @var{charset} whose
position codes are @var{code1} and @var{code2}.  This is roughly the
inverse of @code{split-char}.  Normally, you should specify either one
or both of @var{code1} and @var{code2} according to the dimension of
@var{charset}.  For example,

@example
(make-char 'latin-iso8859-1 72)
     @result{} 2248
@end example

(split-char 2176)
     @result{} (latin-iso8859-1 0)
@end example

The character sets @sc{ascii}, @sc{eight-bit-control}, and
@sc{eight-bit-graphic} don't have corresponding generic characters.  If
@var{charset} is one of them and you don't supply @var{code1},
@code{make-char} returns the character code corresponding to the
smallest code in @var{charset}.
