-Fix the ``hz`` codec sometimes encoding ``~`` as a single ``~`` instead of
-``~~`` in text that mixes ASCII and Chinese characters, which produced data
-that did not decode back to the original text.

-Fix HZ encoding of a tilde at an output buffer boundary and ISO-2022 decoding

-when Python code replaces them during use.
+Fix the ``hz`` codec sometimes encoding ``~`` as a single ``~`` in text that

+mishandling an escape sequence split across calls or keeping the previous
