from http://dev.scriptics.com/man/tcl8.3/TclLib/StringObj.htm

    Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(Tcl_UniChar* unicode, int numChars)

    Tcl_NewUnicodeObj and Tcl_SetUnicodeObj create a new
    object or modify an existing object to hold a copy of the
    Unicode string given by unicode and numChars.

    (Tcl_UniChar* is currently the same thing as Py_UNICODE*)
