Two, three or four, depending on the codepoint.

You can do this yourself. I have already given you enough information in 
previous emails to answer this question on your own, but here it is again:

Open an interactive Python session, and run this code:

c = ord(16474)
len(c.encode('utf-8'))


That will tell you how many bytes are used for that example.
