Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I guess the analogy with bytes objects is that UCS-2 code points can be
handled as 16-bit integer objects.

If we're going to do a programmatic deprecation now, that's the only
alternative typecode currently available. Do we want to recommend that? Or
do we want to postpone programmatic deprecation until we add a 2-byte code
point type code for 3.4?
