At least in the Autoquote and Autoquote2 scripts, Unicode seems to
mostly be handled Ok, for example,

lead_double = u"\u201c"

in the assignment of typographic quotes.
One problem I did recently become aware of was with ellipsis, or Unicode
2206. Although Python seems to apply the glyph correctly, as the script
parses the text, it says that its length is 3 characters, which means
that I can't figure out how to fix a problem with assignment of the
appropriate quotes after an ellipsis. I don't know if this is with
Python 3 or 2.7 or both.
