\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}.
