My guess is that it indicates "Unicode", is that correct?
If so, since when has it been available?

You’re right, see 3.1.3. Unicode Strings.
It’s been the syntax since Python 2.0.
Python 3 made them redundant, as the default string type is Unicode. Versions 3.0 through 3.2 removed them, but they were re-added in 3.3+ for compatibility with Python 2 to aide the 2 to 3 transition.
