Hm? The first paragraph says “A Unicode string data type is simply an
ordered sequence of code units. Thus a Unicode 8-bit string is an ordered
sequence of 8-bit code units, a Unicode 16-bit string is an ordered
sequence of 16-bit code units, and a Unicode 32-bit string is an  ordered
sequence of 32-bit code units.”
