strings hold characters, not bytes. an encoding is used to convert a
stream of characters to a stream of bytes. if you need to know the
number of bytes needed to hold an encoded string

The Content-Encoding header is for things like "gzip", not for
specifying the text encoding. Use the charset parameter to the

No. len(unicode_string) returns the number of characters in the
unicode_string.
Number of bytes depends on how the unicode character are
