          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 characters in the string is represented as a string object
-         with length ``1``.  The built-in function :func:`chr` converts a
-         character to its codepoint (as an integer); :func:`ord` converts

          :meth:`str.encode` can be used to convert a :class:`str` to
