    It is possible to make endian independent 32-bit encodings, since the
    number of equivalences classes under endian swapping (2^31 + 2^15 =
    2147516416) is (much) larger than the number of code points, though at
    some expense on encoding/decoding overhead. I made one such encoding,
    chosen to make encoding/decoding easy (C++ code attached; details in
    the file). The lower 0x7FFF code points are mapped (modulo endian
    swapping) to identity, and encoded characters need not be fully
    decoded for comparison of code points.
