D=E9sol=E9 Antoine,

I have not the knowledge to dive in the Python code,
but I know what is a character.

The coding of the characters is a domain per se,
independent from the os, from the computer languages.

Before spending time to implement a new algorithm,
maybe it is better to ask, if there is something
better than the actual schemes.

I still remember my thoughts when I read the PEP 393
discussion: "this is not logical", "they do no understand
typography", "atomic character ???", ...

Real world exemples.

>>> import libfrancais
>>> li =3D ['no=EBl', 'noir', 'n=9Cud', 'noduleux', \
...     'no=E9tique', 'no=E8se', 'noir=E2tre']
>>> r =3D libfrancais.sortfr(li)
>>> r
['noduleux', 'no=EBl', 'no=E8se', 'no=E9tique', 'n=9Cud', 'noir',
'noir=E2tre']

(cf "Le Petit Robert")
