A string is a sequence of values that represent Unicode codepoints.
All the codepoints in range ``U+0000 - U+10FFFF`` can be represented
in a string. Python doesn't have a :c:type:`chr` type, and
every character in the string is represented as a string object
with length ``1``. The built-in function :func:`ord` converts a
character to its codepoint (as an integer); :func:`chr` converts
an integer in range ``0 - 10FFFF`` to the corresponding character.

All the code points in the range ``U+0000 - U+10FFFF`` can be

instead, every code point in the string is represented as a string
object with length ``1``. The built-in function :func:`ord`
converts a code point from its string form to an integer in the
range ``0 - 10FFFF``; :func:`chr` converts an integer in the range
``0 - 10FFFF`` to the corresponding length ``1`` string object.
:meth:`str.encode` can be used to convert a :class:`str` to
:class:`bytes` using the given encoding, and :meth:`bytes.decode` can
be used to achieve the opposite.
