Which is a far cry from your previous claim that it happened
every time you enter a char.

This of course make your case harder to argue. Because the

vastly less than something that happens everytime you enter
a char.

It will just start producing wrong results when someone starts
using characters that don't fit into ucs-2.

Nonsense.

>>> sys.getsizeof('a'.encode('utf-8'))
