Tested with *my* Windows GUI interactive intepreters.

It seems to me there is a problem with the mbcs codec.

>>> hex(ord('工'))
'0x5de5'
>>> '\u5de5'
'工'
>>> '\u5de5'.encode('mbcs')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<eta last command>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'mbcs' codec can't encode characters in position
0--1: invalid character
>>> '\u5de5'.encode('utf-8')
b'\xe5\xb7\xa5'
>>> '\u5de5'.encode('utf-32-be')
b'\x00\x00]\xe5'
>>> sys.version
'3.2.2 (default, Sep  4 2011, 09:51:08) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> '\u5de5'.encode('mbcs', 'replace')
b'?'

----------

>>> u'\u5de5'.encode('mbcs', 'replace')
'?'
>>> repr(u'\u5de5'.encode('utf-8'))
"'\\xe5\\xb7\\xa5'"
>>> repr(u'\u5de5'.encode('utf-32-be'))
"'\\x00\\x00]\\xe5'"
>>> sys.version
'2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
