Its just a unicode string.
The string constants in Python can be prefixed with a u. Instead of
building a string object for that constant, the interpreter will build a
Unicode string object.

You can also prefix them with r, to make the interpreter ignore escape
codes. 
For example:
>>> print 'a\nb'
a
b
>>> print 'a\\nb'
a\nb
>>> print r'a\nb'
a\nb
>>>

And you can use the combined ur prefix.
