OK, thanks Martin. Now that I think about it, I do understand. My difficulty (and source of my surprise) was in mistakenly thinking of unicode() as performing a string translation operation (that is, an operation on strings). I would now say that it is better thought of as a representation function quite parallel to the str() function. With that mindset, there is no surprise. Thanks again, for your prompt attention and useful replies.
