becomes the Unicode character having the same value as that byte, and each
character written to the channel becomes a single byte in the output. This
makes it possible to work seamlessly with binary data as long as each character
in the data remains in the range of 0 to 255 so that there is no distinction
between binary data and text. For example, A JPEG image can be read from a
such a channel, manipulated, and then written back to such a channel.
