Python uses either a 16-bit or a 32-bit INTERNAL representation of Unicode
code points. Those NN bits have nothing to do with the UTF-NN encodings,
which can be used to encode the codepoints as byte sequences for EXTERNAL
purposes. In your case, UTF-8 has been used as it is the default encoding
on your platform.
