If any UTF symbols are used that occur in CP437 they will be translated.

cp437ToText :: ByteString -> Text

Given a ByteString that is encoded with CP-437, will decode to a UTF Text, with all symbols converted.

utfToByte :: Char -> Word8

Convert a single unicode character to a CP-437 byte.

byteToUtf :: Word8 -> Char

Convert a single byte into a unicode character.
