https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html?highlight=ord#ord [snip] very detailed explanation of narrow/wide build, UCS-2/UCS-4, UTF-16/UTF-32 > Remember, though, these internal representations are (nearly) irrelevant to > Python code.

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! -- Kurt Mueller, kurt.alfred.muel...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
