[New-bugs-announce] [issue7090] encoding uncode objects greater than FFFF

[Mahmoud]

New submission from Mahmoud <saghaei at med.mui.ac.ir>:

Odd behaviour with str.encode or codecs.Codec.encode or simailar
functions, when dealing with uncode objects above ffff

with 2.6
>>> u'\u10380'.encode('utf')
'\xe1\x80\xb80'

with 3.x
'\u10380'.encode('utf')
'\xe1\x80\xb80'

correct output must be:
\xf0\x90\x8e\x80
