Optimized IR generation for UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding

- Both can now be inlined and constant folded away
- Both can no longer cause failure
- Both now return an `Option` instead

Removed debug `assert!()`s over the valid ranges of a `char`
- It affected optimizations due to unwinding
- Char handling is now sound enought that they became uneccessary
