string

A string of characters. Each character in the string is a 32-bit Unicode
character. The internal UTF-16 encoding is hidden from clients.
A string is a Category of its Characters, and of its substrings:


Clean. Far, far away from a unicode handling which may require
18 bytes (!) more to encode a non ascii n-chars string than a
ascii n-chars string.
(With performances following expectedly "globally" the same logic)

>>> sys.getsizeof('a')
26
>>> sys.getsizeof('\U0001d11e')
44
