If there is a set of characters, where Python is failing
very well, this is certainly the set of characters
of the scripts used in Europe [#] .
Shortly all the characters in the code point range
[128, 255] of the iso-8859-XX coding schemes. Ditto
for the cpXXX coding schemes.

Much more problematic than the usual blindly tested
simple Chinese or Japanese characters. Korean/Hangul is
(or may be) seen as a little bit more complicate.

[#] also in Py2 !
