class MARC::Marc8::ToUnicode

Class to convert Marc8 to UTF-8. NOTE: Requires ruby 1.9+ (this could be changed without too much trouble, but we just don’t care to support 1.8.7 anymore.)

www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/speccharmarc8.html

NOT thread-safe, it needs to keep state as it goes through a string, do not re-use between threads.

Uses 4 spaces per indent, rather than usual ruby 2 space, just to change the python less.

Returns UTF-8 encoded string! Encode to something else if you want something else.

III proprietary code points?
