Output of reverse() does not align with output of parse() for the same word

>>> import avro

'কিংকর্তব্যবিমূঢ়'
>>> avro.reverse(_)
'kingokoro্toboZzbimuRh'-
>>> avro.parse(_)
'কিঙ্গকর্তবঅ্যযবিমুঢ়'
>>> 

If parse('x') = y, reverse('y') should output exactly 'x'.

Thanks a ton for making avro.py, btw :)

@ruviet Thanks for mentioning the issue! Actually, the design is on purpose since sometimes the output from the reverse() function needs to be sanitized beforehand in order for a "readable" text. However, your issue might indicate the need for a raw-reversal function.

@baseplate-admin Would like your thoughts on this one.

I think the thought process is correct, Add something of raw reversal is the better way, since in avro the dictionary by design is lossy.

Thanks for the quick response!
