This problem seems more severe as the appended test case shows.
That gives me:
Expected:
 u'ī'
Got:
 u'\u012b'
Both literals are the same.
Unicode literals in doc strings are not treated as other escaped
characters: 
>>> repr(r'\n')
"'\\\\n'"
>>> repr('\n')
"'\\n'"
but:
>>> repr(ur'\u012b')
"u'\\u012b'"
>>> repr(u'\u012b')
"u'\\u012b'"
So there is no work around in the docstring's reference itself.
I file this here, even though the problems are not strictly equal. I do
believe though that there is or should be a common solution to these
issues. Both results need to be interpreted on a more abstract scale.
