Description
As is not demonstrated by the online demo at https://mothereff.in/css-escapes.
If a `@charset "utf-8";` directive is present in the input, or an appropriate option is set in the options object, it would be nice to be able to preserve characters that don't need to be escaped.
The [CSS 2.1 spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#characters) allows identifiers to contain characters above U+00A0, and at least CSS 2.0 allowed characters "161 and higher".

Research direction
Review the cssesc escaping behavior and its options object, then compare the current output with the online demo and the CSS 2.1 character rules linked in the issue. Determine how a @charset "utf-8" directive or an option should affect characters above U+00A0, and verify that the resulting identifiers preserve characters that do not require escaping.
