-  #
-  #   "a".ord # => 97
-  #   "à".ord # => 224, in ISO-8859-1

-  #
-  #   "a".mb_chars.ord # => 97
-  #   "à".mb_chars.ord # => 224, in UTF8
-  #
-  # Note that the 224 is different in both examples. In ISO-8859-1 "à" is
-  # represented as a single byte, 224. In UTF8 it is represented with two
-  # bytes, namely 195 and 160, but its Unicode codepoint is 224. If we
-  # call +ord+ on the UTF8 string "à" the return value will be 195. That is
-  # not an error, because UTF8 is unsupported, the call itself would be
-  # bogus.
