the comment says "Unicode", not UTF-8.

Unicode is a character set, UTF-8 is an 8-bit encoding that can
handle the entire Unicode character set.

Python provides a Unicode string type that's used to hold Unicode
strings; good practice is to stick to Unicode strings for anything
that's not pure 7-bit ASCII, and convert only on the way in and
out.
