[snip] very detailed explanation of narrow/wide build, UCS-2/UCS-4, =
UTF-16/UTF-32

So I can interpret your last section:
Processing any Unicode string will work with small and wide
python 2.7 builds and also with python >3.3?
( parts of small build python will not work with values over 0xFFFF )
( strings with surrogate pairs will not work correctly on small build =
python )



Many thanks for your detailed answer!
