  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### PyUnicode

          public PyUnicode()

    - #### PyUnicode

          public PyUnicode(java.lang.String string)

      Construct a PyUnicode interpreting the Java String argument as UTF-16.
      Parameters:
        `string` - UTF-16 string encoding the characters (as Java).

    - #### PyUnicode

          public PyUnicode(java.lang.String string,
                           boolean isBasic)

      Construct a PyUnicode interpreting the Java String argument as UTF-16. If it is known that the string contains no supplementary characters, argument isBasic may be set true by the caller. If it is false, the PyUnicode will scan the string to find out.
      Parameters:
        `string` - UTF-16 string encoding the characters (as Java).
        `isBasic` - true if it is known that only BMP characters are present.

    - #### PyUnicode

          public PyUnicode(PyType subtype,
                           java.lang.String string)

    - #### PyUnicode

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### toCodePoints

          public int[] toCodePoints()

      Overrides:
        `toCodePoints` in class `PyString`

    - #### getBuffer

          public PyBuffer getBuffer(int flags)
                             throws java.lang.ClassCastException

      `PyUnicode` implements the interface `BufferProtocol` technically by inheritance from `PyString`, but does not provide a buffer (in CPython). We therefore arrange that all calls to `getBuffer` raise an error.
      Specified by:
        `getBuffer` in interface `BufferProtocol`
      Overrides:
        `getBuffer` in class `PyString`
      Parameters:
        `flags` - consumer requirements
      Returns:
        always throws a `ClassCastException`
      Throws:
        `java.lang.ClassCastException` - when the object only formally implements `BufferProtocol`

    - #### substring

          public java.lang.String substring(int start,
                                            int end)

      Return a substring of this object as a Java String. The indices are code point indices, not UTF-16 (`char`) indices. For example:

           PyUnicode u = new PyUnicode("..𐀂𐀃...");
           // (Python) u = u'..\U00010002\U00010003...'

           String s = u.substring(2, 4);  // = "𐀂𐀃" (Java)

      Overrides:
        `substring` in class `PyString`
      Parameters:
        `start` - the beginning index, inclusive.
        `end` - the ending index, exclusive.
      Returns:
        the specified substring.

    - #### fromInterned

          public static PyUnicode fromInterned(java.lang.String interned)

      Creates a PyUnicode from an already interned String. Just means it won't be reinterned if used in a place that requires interned Strings.

    - #### isBasicPlane

          public boolean isBasicPlane()

      Determine whether the string consists entirely of basic-plane characters. For a `PyString`, of course, it is always `true`, but this is useful in cases where either a `PyString` or a `PyUnicode` is acceptable.
      Overrides:
        `isBasicPlane` in class `PyString`
      Returns:
        true if the string consists only of BMP characters

    - #### getCodePointCount

          public int getCodePointCount()

    - #### checkEncoding

          public static java.lang.String checkEncoding(java.lang.String s)

    - #### createInstance

          public PyString createInstance(java.lang.String str)

      Description copied from class: `PyString`
      Create an instance of the same type as this object, from the Java String given as argument. This is to be overridden in a subclass to return its own type.
      Overrides:
        `createInstance` in class `PyString`
      Parameters:
        `str` - to wrap
      Returns:
        instance wrapping `str`

    - #### __mod__

          public PyObject __mod__(PyObject other)

      Description copied from class: `PyObject`
      Equivalent to the standard Python __mod__ method
      Overrides:
        `__mod__` in class `PyString`
      Parameters:
        `other` - the object to perform this binary operation with (the right-hand operand).
      Returns:
        the result of the mod, or null if this operation is not defined

    - #### __unicode__

          public PyUnicode __unicode__()

      Overrides:
        `__unicode__` in class `PyString`

    - #### __str__

          public PyString __str__()

      Description copied from class: `PyObject`
      Equivalent to the standard Python __str__ method. The default implementation (in `PyObject`) calls `PyObject.__repr__()`, making it unnecessary to override `__str__` in sub-classes of `PyObject` where both forms are the same. A common choice is to provide the same implementation to `__str__` and `toString`, for consistency in the printed form of objects between Python and Java.
      Overrides:
        `__str__` in class `PyString`

    - #### __len__

          public int __len__()

    - #### __repr__

          public PyString __repr__()

      Description copied from class: `PyObject`
      Equivalent to the standard Python `__repr__` method. Each sub-class of `PyObject` is likely to re-define this method to provide for its own reproduction.

                                                                              int step)

      Equivalent to the Python `unicode.startswith` method, testing whether a string starts with a specified prefix, where a sub-range is specified by `[start:end]`.
