Python's internal representation is not UTF-8, but UTF-16, or UTF-32, depends on build parameters. Thus python doesn't really support code points above the BMP. Of course, you cannot know the internal representation, since python (cleverly) does not allow you to cast a unicode string to a sequence of bytes without specifying the result encoding. http://docs.python.org/c-api/unicode.html (see also this very good presentation<http://98.245.80.27/tcpc/OSCON2011/gbu.html>on internal unicode representations in various languages).
