-    Returns list of utf-8 byte and a corresponding list of unicode strings.
-    The reversible bpe codes work on unicode strings.

-    When you're at something like a 10B token dataset you end up needing around 5K for decent coverage.
-    This is a significant percentage of your normal, say, 32K bpe vocab.
-    To avoid that, we want lookup tables between utf-8 bytes and unicode strings.
