Should rot13 shift any unicode character, or just a-z and A-Z?

Python2 only changes characters a-z and A-Z, and use ISO-8859-1 to encode 
unicode to byte string.

>>> u"abc é".encode("rot13")
'nop \xe9'
>>> u"abc \u2c01".encode("rot13")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u2c01' in 
position 4: character maps to <undefined>
