The ctypes.create_string_buffer function uses the length of the string to create the buffer if no size is provided. Since windows wide chars are UTF-16 the buffer may actually need to be larger to store surrogate pairs. This code crashes on windows:

>>> create_unicode_buffer('\U00010000\U00010000')
ValueError: string too long
