That's better.

You wrote about '\üaaa' (3 'a's) in your previous post
on the ticket and I didn't understand why that would change with the
patch, since it's basically a SyntaxError which doesn't have anything
to do with the Unicode types or database.

Please also check what happened to all those code points that were
removed by the patch in unicodetype_db.h.

Thanks.
