Single-byte mode

Any string that begins with the byte 0x01 signals that the rest of the string consists of single-byte characters. The single-byte character table is identical to the 0x80XX table, except each letter is shifted by one. For example, 0x80CC ('c') becomes 0xCD. A single-byte character string is terminated by a null byte.
