@section Splitting Characters

  The functions in this section convert between characters and the byte
values used to represent them.  For most purposes, there is no need to
be concerned with the sequence of bytes used to represent a character,
because Emacs translates automatically when necessary.

@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
