i'm pretty sure this is made for ANSI strings to be recognized as Unicode

There are other components to IsTextUnicode, if you look at the MSDN page and scroll down to the big list of flags: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-istextunicode.
I am a bit too lazy to check what "this algorithm" meant in the comment -- does 教你的技術人員如何飛行。 or \u6559\u4F60\u7684\u6280\u8853\u4EBA\u54E1\u5982\u4F55\u98DB\u884C\u3002 triggers just this Python thing or the whole IsTextUnicode function? If it works on the whole function, this would mean there's now an inverse "bush hid the facts" (causes the bug in the other direction... and a meaningful sentence) after all these years.

@Artoria2e5
This script only checks the "char sum imbalance". If this check says NO, that doesn't mean the string is classified as non-unicode. You can try using the other code I posted that simply calls IsTextUnicode on Windows (or, if you're at that point, just try it in an XP VM).
