Ok, so there's some magical weirdness with crlf in as 2.0. Don't
conflate it with the Unicode stuff, though. It may have gone in at

Well the idea of one "character" having two code points is certainly
a Unicode thing.
IMO, not really. If you describe the notion more generally, such as an
entity ascribed to one or more values with the meaning of the values
following the first contingent upon the value of the first lying
within certain ranges, then MIDI was at that point in the early '80s.
And one certainly has to ask how the so called two-byte languages in
vintage MacOS worked. Unicode simply standardized the concept as it
pertains to character set representations.
