Thank you, Martin and Stephen, for the suggestions and comments.

For your information:

We decided that all NumPy arrays of unicode strings will use UCS4 for internal representation. When an element of the array is selected, a unicodescalar (which inherits directly from the unicode builtin type but has attributes and methods of arrays) will be returned. On wide builds, the scalar is a perfect match. On narrow builds, surrogate pairs will be used if they are necessary as the data is copied over to the scalar.

Best regards,

-Travis
