One point I forgot to clarify is that I'm fully aware that print(arbitrary_string) may display garbage, if the string contains Unicode that my display can't handle. The key point for me is that print(repr(arbitrary_string)) is *guaranteed* to display correctly, even on my limited-capability terminal, precisely because it only uses ASCII and no matter how dumb, all terminals I know of display ASCII.
