Good question.
Of the three main encodings for Unicode, two are variable-width:
* UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes per character
* UTF-16 uses 2 or 4 bytes per character
while UTF-32 is fixed-width (4 bytes per character). So you could try faking
it with a 32-bit array and filling it with string.encode('utf-32').
