I'm not sure of that. If you look at the Unicode table for Latin1
(http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf), the encoding of é is
00E9 (p. 7).

As the string is explicitly marked as Unicode string (u'string') in
Python, I would say that this indeed an Unicode string, with the é
showed in hexadecimal.

Yours,
