- A string is a sequence of values that represent Unicode codepoints.
- All the codepoints in range ``U+0000 - U+10FFFF`` can be represented
- in a string. Python doesn't have a :c:type:`chr` type, and
- every character in the string is represented as a string object
- with length ``1``. The built-in function :func:`ord` converts a
- character to its codepoint (as an integer); :func:`chr` converts
- an integer in range ``0 - 10FFFF`` to the corresponding character.
