-.. class:: Constant(value)
+.. class:: Constant(value, kind)
 
    A constant value. The ``value`` attribute of the ``Constant`` literal contains the
    Python object it represents. The values represented can be instances of :class:`str`,
    :class:`bytes`, :class:`int`, :class:`float`, :class:`complex`, and :class:`bool`,
    and the constants :data:`None` and :data:`Ellipsis`.
 
+   The ``kind`` attribute is an optional string. For string literals with a
+   ``u`` prefix, ``kind`` is set to ``'u'``. For all other
+   constants, ``kind`` is ``None``.
