    Python 2 input string will be a unicode type (unicode code points). Curses
    will accept unicode if all of the points are in the ascii range. However, if
    any of the code points are not valid ascii curses will throw a
    UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character, ordinal not in
    range(128). If we encode the unicode to a utf-8 byte string and pass that to
    curses, it will render correctly.

    Python 3 input string will be a string type (unicode code points). Curses
    will accept that in all cases. However, the n character count in addnstr
    will not be correct. If code points are passed to addnstr, curses will treat
    each code point as one character and will not account for wide characters.
    If utf-8 is passed in, addnstr will treat each 'byte' as a single character.
