Maybe on your system. On my system, those same commands produce
hell\303\266 w\303\266rld

Those \303\266 symbols are single characters -- when I move around
with cursor keys, the cursor jumps across them with a single key-
press.

As I wrote, I'm running Python inside Emacs 22.2.1 (using python-
mode).
