So in kate, i Ctrl-Shift-U and type ffff to enter a unicode codepoint of
0xffff. Then at the REPL prompt i do
fh = open('/tmp/x', 'rt', -1, 'ascii', 'backslashreplace', None)and i get fh.readline() '\\xef\\xbf\\xbf\n' Since I wrote two bytes 0xff and 0xff into Kate - why am i getting 0xef 0xbf and 0xbf ? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman3//lists/python-list.python.org
