[issue7649] "u'%c' % char" broken for chars in range '\x80'-'\xFF'

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

Shouldn't it work the same as it does for integers?

>>> u'%c' % 0x7f
u'\x7f'
>>> u'%c' % '\x7f'
u'\x7f'
>>> u'%c' % 0x80
u'\x80'
>>> u'%c' % '\x80'
u'\uff80'

That would imply to me it shouldn't be an error, it should just return u'\x80'.
