As expected I guess:
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> u"\U0001D4AE"
'𝒮'
I even get correct character on my terminal. Wow!

>>> import sys
>>> sys.maxunicode
1114111

This means python I have is compiled with UCS4
Looks like .net has surrogates and no direct UCS4 support. I guess we don't
have many alternatives.

It saves effort when working with generic python packages. Any fix of
"obscure" bytes conversion pays back.
