Code page 65001 handles lone surrogate differently on Windows XP and older. It changed in Windows Vista: https://unicodebook.readthedocs.io/operating_systems.html#encode-and-decode-functions Steve Dower removed support for Vista from test_codecs.py 3 years ago: commit f5aba58480bb0dd45181f609487ac2ecfcc98673 Author: Steve Dower <steve.do...@microsoft.com> Date: Tue Sep 6 19:42:27 2016 -0700 Issue #27959: Adds oem encoding, alias ansi to mbcs, move aliasmbcs to codec lookup Maybe it's time to remove Lib/encodings/cp65001.py and add an alias cp65001 => utf_8 in Lib/encodings/aliases.py?
