[Tutor] unichr not working as expected

[wolfrage8765 at gmail.com]

Although I can not say for sure.  It appears to me, they are trying to
do a better job at merging from distributed branches to various
distributed repositories.  GIT being the shinning example at this
particular task.  I personally use BZR, because they aimed to be
easier to use for a new programmer but with many of the strengths of
GIT (Except for Speed).  I am only just now reading up on HG.  I am
reading about another because I hope BZR does not die, but it seems to
have fallen by the wayside, and in my experience GIT confused the crap
out of me.
