Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I think it is nice to add tests for C API. Especially if there is no direct 
mapping between Python and C API ("character in str" don't call 
PyUnicode_FindChar()). Tests should cover all corner cases, otherwise we can 
miss bugs. Some C API can be not used in CPython at all, just in third-party 
extensions, and special tests is the only way to test them. The implementation 
of PyUnicode_FindChar() is not so simple (for example see issue24821).

I don't have an opinion about supporting negative indices.
