>>> timeit.repeat("(x*1000 + y)[:-1]", setup="x = 'abc'; y = 'z'")
[1.4027834829454946, 1.38714224331963, 1.3822586635296261]
>>> timeit.repeat("(x*1000 + y)[:-1]", setup="x = 'abc'; y = '\u0fce'")
[5.462776291480395, 5.4479432055423445, 5.447874284053398]

[1.3496489533188765, 1.328654286266783, 1.3300913977710707]

Note 1: "lookup" is not the problem.
Note 2: From Unicode.org : "[...] We strongly encourage [...] and test
them with their programs [...]"
-> Done.
