Effectively it does not, but for some reason it actually print the
repr() of the string.

This surprises me as well, why does it fail here?
>>> repr('\u2119')
"'\u2119'"
>>> print(repr('\u2119'))
Traceback ... UnicodeEncodeError ...
On GNU/Linux, I get:
>>> repr('\u2119')
"'ℙ'"
>>> print(repr('\u2119'))
'ℙ'
Uhm, it must be related to the fact that on Py3 the repr() of something
is a unicode object too, so the output machinery tries to encode it to
the output encoding.... Still, I miss the difference between stdout and
stderr (both are cp437, accordingly to sys.xxx.encoding).
ciao, lele.
