Something in the tool chain before it reached Python has saved it
using a wide (four byte) encoding, most likely UTF-16 as that is
widely used by Windows and Java. With the right settings, it could

UTF-16 is a two byte format. That's typically what Windows uses for
Unicode. It's Unices that are more likely to use a four-byte format.
