What is the intended use of byte types?

Yes, but what would be the point? Unicode only has 17 planes, up to
code 0x10. It's limited by UTF-16.

Python 3 lets you use any Unicode letter as an identifier, including
letter modifiers (Lm) and number letters (Nl). For example:
aꘌꘌb = True

What happens if str() or repr() is not supported by a particular
object? Is an exception thrown, an empty string returned or something
else I am not imagining?
Let's try it and see:

These contrasting examples are very illuminating. So in print(str(x))

I don't think that is possible, at least not by accident or neglect.

The __str__ method inherited from object calls __repr__.
Thanks to all who responded. There was much more going on here than I
ever would have suspected. I am glad I asked the questions I did. This
