  \begin{funcdesc}{ord}{c}
!   Return the \ASCII{} value of a string of one character.  E.g.,
!   \code{ord('a')} returns the integer \code{97}.  This is the inverse of
!   \function{chr()}.
  \end{funcdesc}

  \begin{funcdesc}{ord}{c}
!   Return the \ASCII{} value of a string of one character or a Unicode
!   character.  E.g., \code{ord('a')} returns the integer \code{97},
!   \code{ord(u'\\u2020')} returns \code{8224}.  This is the inverse of
!   \function{chr()} for strings and of \function{unichr()} for Unicode
!   characters.

+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{unichr}{i}
+ Return the Unicode string of one character whose Unicode code is the
+ integer \var{i}, e.g., \code{unichr(97)} returns the string
+ \code{u'a'}.  This is the inverse of \function{ord()} for Unicode
+ strings.  The argument must be in the range [0..65535], inclusive.
+ \exception{ValueError} is raised otherwise.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{unicode}{string\optional{, encoding='utf-8'\optional{, errors='strict'}}}
+ Decodes \var{string} using the codec for \var{encoding}.  Error
+ handling is done according to \var{errors}.  The default behavior is
+ to decode UTF-8 in strict mode, meaning that encoding errors raise
+ \exception{ValueError}.
