Hi, I'm the author of the UTF-8 Mode PEP (PEP 540) and its implementation. I wrote test_utf8_mode. I wasn't sure that it was a good idea to hardcode the locale encoding depending on the platform. The fact that AIX and HP-UX use different locale encoding confirms that it was a bad choice. My PR 8967 gets the locale encoding at runtime instead of hardcoding it. It should fix the test on AIX and HP-UX. To fix the test on HP-UX, I also removed the euro sign (U+20AC: €) from the test string. There is no need to test large code point: a single non-ASCII character is enough to validate the code. Michael Osipov: would you mind to test my PR on HP-UX please?
