Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Try b'\xed\xb2\x80' and b'\xed\xb4\x80' for UTF-8 (on Unix and Mac OS X).
b'\xed\xb2\x80' is b'\x80'.decode('utf-8', 'surrogateescape').encode('utf-8', 'surrogatepass'). b'\xed\xb4\x80' is '\udd00'.encode('utf-8', 'surrogatepass') and '\udd00' can't be encoded with surrogateescape. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
