declaimed the following:

>b'\xc3\xa4\xc3\x84\xc3\xb6\xc3\x96\xc3\xbc\xc3\x9c'
>>>> len('äÄöÖüÜ'.encode('utf-8'))
>12
>>>> 
>>>> ?

	Is there a question in there somewhere?

	Crystal ball is hazy...

	However... Note that once you encode the Unicode literal, you have a
BYTE string. There are 12 bytes in that binary -- it is NOT considered
Unicode at that point (only when you decode it with the same CODEC will it
be Unicode).
