Exactly. These endless discussions about different encodings start to 
get really boring. I cannot think of any aspect of it that hasn't been 
discussed here on several occasions, but as a fact:

"Strings are immutable sequences of Unicode code points" in Python3 
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=str#textseq) 
and this is not an implementation detail. So if any "implementation" 
doesn't stick to this convention, it is simply incomplete.
