### A note about unicode ## A note about unicode

Unicode symbols are allowed in strings, but are not treated in any special way, so if you want count glyphs or uppercase unicode symbols, you must use the `unicode` module.
Strings are generally considered to be encoded as UTF-8, so because of unicode's backwards compatibility, can be treated exactly as ASCII, with all values above 127 ignored.
