The "Unicode data" page doesn't make sense for people who started on
Python 3 and who have always had the luxury of a `str` type that works.
Also it assumes that Python's default charset is ASCII, while it is UTF-8
now.
This page should be renamed to "Encoded data" and, instead of explaining
how unicode strings are different from (Python 2) regular strings, it
should explained how encoded strings are different from (Python 3) regular
strings and how external systems deal with them.

New description:
The "Unicode data" page doesn't make sense for people who started on
Python 3 and who have always had the luxury of a `str` type that works.
Also it assumes that Python's default charset is ASCII, while it is UTF-8
now.
This page should be renamed to "Encoded data" and, instead of explaining
how unicode strings are different from (Python 2) regular strings, it
should explained how encoded strings are different from (Python 3) regular
strings and how external systems deal with them.
There's also a handful of references to "Unicode strings" in other
documentation pages that should be changed to just "strings".

Comment:
This [https://github.com/django/django/pull/7918 PR] is dealing with the
unicode term replacement with "string". But as I commented on the PR, the
"Unicode data" page does indeed need to be rewritten.
