+\item[Unicode]
+The items of a Unicode object are Unicode characters. A Unicode
+character is represented by a Unicode object of one item and can hold
+a 16-bit value representing a Unicode ordinal. The built-in functions
+\function{unichr()}\bifuncindex{unichr} and
+\function{ord()}\bifuncindex{ord} convert between characters and
+nonnegative integers representing the Unicode ordinals as defined in
+the Unicode Standard 3.0. Conversion from and to other encodings are
+possible through the Unicode method \method{encode} and the built-in
+function \function{unicode()}\bifuncindex{unicode}.
