I would not limit it to ASCII characters but would directly go for 
Unicode. As the Unicode universe requires at most 21 bits for addressing 
any code point, we could easily make a separate class and immediate 
4-bit lead specifier for it, f.e. 0xE, like 0xC is for object pointers, 
to fit any 32 bit integer.

Has there been work or discussions on this topic before?
