People are trying to help, but the meaning you seem to have for certain 
words are different than the meaning we are used to when discussing 
Unicode and text encoding.

If you would like to learn how we use the words, consider reading 
Chapter 1 of the Unicode Core Specification: 
<https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode16.0.0/core-spec/chapter-1/>. 
Particularly, see what it says about code points ane encoding forms. 
Also have a look at the terms in the Unicode glossary, especially 
<https://unicode.org/glossary/#glyph> and 
<https://unicode.org/glossary/#glyph_image> and 
<https://unicode.org/glossary/#character> and 
<https://unicode.org/glossary/#code_unit>.

But another way to find common understanding is for you to give an 
example of what you are looking for. For instance, can you show us the 
sourcecode for the ASCII bytecode to glyph map?  Or the sourcecode for 
the bytecode to glyph map of another encoding standard?

Also, given that sourcecode, can you explain how you use it to "checksum 
text"?

If you can show me the sourcecode for the ASCII bytecode to glyph map, 
and explain how to checksum text, maybe we will better understand what 
you seek.
