This is incorrect. Python 2 has never used UTF-8 internally for Unicode strings. In narrow builds, it uses UTF-16, but makes no allowance for surrogate pairs in strings. In wide builds, it uses UTF-32. Other implementations, such as Jython or IronPython, may do something else. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
