Yet it uses the same set of Unicode code points for the software as are used for text. I am suggesting a set of code points specifically for the portable interpretable object code, perhaps in plane 12 of the Unicode code point map. I am also suggesting that each of those code points define one complete instruction of the set of instructions of the portable interpretable object code.
