the Unicode BOM mark (U+FEFF). In the other two modes, no BOM mark
is prepended.
Note that \ctype{Py_UNICODE} data is being interpreted as UTF-16
reduced to UCS-2. This trick makes it possible to add full UTF-16
capabilities at a later point without comprimising the APIs.
If \var{Py_UNICODE_WIDE} is defined, a single \ctype{Py_UNICODE}
value may get represented as a surrogate pair. If it is not
defined, each \ctype{Py_UNICODE} values is interpreted as an
UCS-2 character.
Returns \NULL{} if an exception was raised by the codec.
