If it's a Unicode string (which is the default in Python 3), all Unicode characters will work correctly. If it's a byte string (the default in Python 2), then you can't actually have any Unicode characters in it at all, you have bytes; Py2 lets you be a bit sloppy with the ASCII range, but technically, you still have bytes, not characters..
