Notes:
(1)
+ The ``'u'`` type code corresponds to Python's unicode character
+ (:c:type:`Py_UNICODE` which is :c:type:`wchar_t`). Depending on the
+ platform, it can be 16 bits or 32 bits.
+
+(2)
The ``'q'`` and ``'Q'`` type codes are available only if
the platform C compiler used to build Python supports C :c:type:`long long`,
or, on Windows, :c:type:`__int64`.
