Thanks for pointing out `ascii()`. Seems to do exactly what I want. `repr()` showing combining characters would, in my opinion, still be useful to avoid problems like I demonstrated with unittest and pytest. I doubt it's a good idea with them to use `ascii()` instead of `repr()` by default because on Python 3 the latter generally works much better with non-ASCII text.
