Even though string objects in Python are more basic data types, they have some similarities to List objects. Strings are sequences of characters, and we can access each character of a string individually, just as we can access each object in a list, using an index. A character is the smallest possible component of a text, and characters vary depending on the language and context used (Python Software Foundation, 2019, “Unicode HOWTO”). For example, if a variable str_message had the value “Hey, Taxi!” it would comprise 10 characters and you could index each character in the string using the index values 0 through 9. In this example, str_message[2] would be the third character, which is “y.”
