Characters are defined in the spec to be unsigned 8 bit integers.

7.2.
A character is a signed 8-bit value. A character can be represented by an i8 in MLIR.

However, casting seems to simply an unsigned integer is produced.

9.2.
Casting a integer to character produces unsigned integer value mod 256

Similarly, character reads from std_input also treat the bytes as unsigned.
