One aspect of Unicode (note the capitalized "U").
py32
>>> timeit.repeat("'abc需'.find('a')")
[0.27941279564856814, 0.26568106110789813, 0.265546366757917]
>>> timeit.repeat("'abcdef'.find('a')")
[0.2891812867801491, 0.26698153112010914, 0.26738994644529157]
py33
timeit.repeat("'abc需'.find('a')")
[0.5941777382531654, 0.5829193385634426, 0.5519412133990045]
timeit.repeat("'abcdef'.find('a')")
[0.44333188136533863, 0.4232506078969891, 0.4225164843046514]

In French, depending of the word, a leading "h", behaves
as a vowel or as a consonant.
