.. note::
The ``'u'`` typecode corresponds to Python's unicode character. On narrow
Unicode builds this is 2-bytes, on wide builds this is 4-bytes.
The actual representation of values is determined by the machine architecture
(strictly speaking, by the C implementation). The actual size can be accessed
through the :attr:`itemsize` attribute.
