New submission from Sebastian Kacprzak <n...@naitbit.com>:

In Python 3.5 and earlier (tested 3.5.3 and 2.7.13)
b'\\\xfa'.decode('unicode-escape', errors='ignore')
did return '\\รบ'

but in Python 3.6 it raises 
OverflowError: decoding with 'unicode-escape' codec failed (OverflowError: 
character argument not in range(0x110000))


Python 3.6.1 (default, Sep  7 2017, 16:36:03) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170406] on linux
