Could be related to issue 8180 perhaps? 

In addition, if I run this test in an ascii terminal, unittest dies trying to output the failure message:

  File "/compile/python3-back/Lib/unittest/runner.py", line 150, in run
    result.printErrors()
  File "/compile/python3-back/Lib/unittest/runner.py", line 105, in printErrors
    self.printErrorList('ERROR', self.errors)
  File "/compile/python3-back/Lib/unittest/runner.py", line 113, in printErrorList
    self.stream.writeln("%s" % err)
  File "/compile/python3-back/Lib/unittest/runner.py", line 21, in writeln
    self.write(arg)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe4' in position 197: ordinal not in range(128)

Should unittest be fixed to be able to handle this? (Output '\u...' style strings when there is an encoding error in the TextTestRunner / TextTestResult.)
