Yesterday I ran into a bug in the C API docs. The top of this page:

http://docs.python.org/api/unicodeObjects.html says: PyUNICODE This type represents a 16-bit unsigned storage type which is used by Python internally as basis for holding Unicode ordinals. On platforms where wchart is available and also has 16-bits, PyUNICODE is a typedef alias for wchart to enhance native platform compatibility. On all other platforms, PyUNICODE is a typedef alias for unsigned short.

I believe this is the same issue that was brought up in May[1]. My impression was that people could not agree on a documentation patch.
