I am trying to print bits of of UTf-8 character. In that case an emoji.According to the the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut74oHojxqothe following code script.py (both from the script edited with vim and the python command line from the terminal

s = '👍'print(len(s))print(s[0])

should give the following output:

$ python script.py 4'xf0'

However it gives me

$ python script.py 1👍
