...and, for "for display" conversions, we might want to convert control characters to "Control Pictures" symbols 
(0x0000 to 0x001F convert to 0x2400 to 0x241f: ␀, ␁, etc. through ␟; 0x007F converts to 0x2421, i.e. ␡ - in the font in 
which this message is being displayed to me, those have the control character abbreviations displayed in really really 
small letters, diagonally from upper left to lower right; unfortunately, I see nothing for C1 control characters).
