OK, I know that Unicode data is stored in an encoding on disk.
But how is it stored in RAM?
I realize I shouldn't write code that depends on any relevant
implementation details, but knowing some of the more common
implementation options would probably help build an intuition for
what's going on internally.
I've heard that characters are no longer all c bytes wide internally,
so is it sometimes utf-8?
No.
From Python 3.3, it's an array of 1, 2 or 4 bytes per codepoint.
In Python terms:
if all(c <= '\xFF' for c in string):
use 1 byte per codepoint
elif all(c <= '\xFFFF' for c in string):
use 2 bytes per codepoint
else:
use 4 bytes per codepoint
A very, very nice recursive mathematical absurdity.
As a profoundly astute mathematician
v v n r m a
can be parsed in 42 different ways (5th catalan number)
Which parse did you intend?
Please don't feed this particular troll, it's a complete waste of time.
