Actually no, it doesn't.

Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr  6 2013, 19:54:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
>>> s = "abcd\xa9"
>>> print(s)
abcd©

The copyright symbol is not in ASCII. Are you suggesting that Python
uses a 7-bit internal representation of this data? Because a quick
squiz at the source code will prove that wrong. This is not ASCII.
