+=item * C<$unicode = utf8::native_to_unicode($code_point)>
+
+This takes an unsigned integer (which represents the ordinal number of a
+character (or a code point) on the platform the program is being run on) and
+returns its Unicode equivalent value. Since ASCII platforms natively use the
+Unicode code points, this function returns its input on them. On EBCDIC
+platforms it converts from EBCIDC to Unicode.
+
+A meaningless value will currently be returned if the input is not an unsigned
+integer.
+
+=item * C<$native = utf8::unicode_to_native($code_point)>
+
+This is the inverse of C<utf8::native_to_unicode()>, converting the other
+direction. Again, on ASCII platforms, this returns its input, but on EBCDIC
+platforms it will find the native platform code point, given any Unicode one.
+
+A meaningless value will currently be returned if the input is not an unsigned
+integer.
