Single Unicode Character - How many Bytes?

I've got a single Cyrillic character delivered from a db field to my script,
which displays correctly in my UTF-8 web page. This is the "backwards P"
which has the Unicode value of &H042F

But when I read it for writing to a file, what I see is a 4-byte value of
&HD0 00 AF 00 .

Can someone explain what's going on here? Thanks, all.
