+ \item[Unicode]
+ The items of a Unicode object are Unicode characters.  A Unicode
+ character is represented by a Unicode object of one item and can hold
+ a 16-bit value representing a Unicode ordinal.  The built-in functions
+ \function{unichr()}\bifuncindex{unichr} and
+ \function{ord()}\bifuncindex{ord} convert between characters and
+ nonnegative integers representing the Unicode ordinals as defined in
+ the Unicode Standard 3.0. Conversion from and to other encodings are
+ possible through the Unicode method \method{encode} and the built-in
+ function \function{unicode()}\bifuncindex{unicode}.
