Good question. Of the three main encodings for Unicode, two are variable-width: * UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes per character * UTF-16 uses 2 or 4 bytes per character while UTF-32 is fixed-width (4 bytes per character). So you could try faking it with a 32-bit array and filling it with string.encode('utf-32'). -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
