[issue7090] encoding uncode objects greater than FFFF

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

If you want to specify codepoints greater than U+FFFF you have to use
u'\Uxxxxxxxx':
>>> x = u'\u10380'
>>> x.encode('utf-8')
'\xe1\x80\xb80'
>>> x[0]
u'\u1038'
>>> x[1]
u'0'
>>> y = u'\U00010380'
>>> y.encode('utf-8')
'\xf0\x90\x8e\x80'
