No worries.

We had a long and distinguished history of unicode bugs (we even had a
specific tag for them, as they were so severe).  But the vast majority
of them have been fixed, the unicode-filtered list only shows three
open ones:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues?labels=unicode&sort=created&direction=desc&state=open&page=1

So it's possible your problem has indeed been fixed, since we know
that at least the worst horrors are gone now, largely thanks to Thomas
Kluyver's insane persistence.

That is most certainly a good policy, and I use it myself.  IPython is
necessarily a big and complex beast, so if something looks really odd,
the first sanity check is to remove that layer from the problem.
