In the other two modes, no BOM mark is prepended. - Note that \ctype{Py_UNICODE} data is being interpreted as UTF-16 - reduced to UCS-2. This trick makes it possible to add full UTF-16 - capabilities at a later point without comprimising the APIs. + If \var{Py_UNICODE_WIDE} is defined, a single \ctype{Py_UNICODE} + value may get represented as a surrogate pair.
