[New-bugs-announce] [issue33143] encode UTF-16 generates unexpected results

[Anders Rundgren]

New submission from Anders Rundgren <anders.rundgren.net at gmail.com>:

Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec  6 2015, 01:54:25) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> v = '\u20ac'
>>> print (v)
€
>>> v.encode('utf-16')
b'\xff\xfe\xac '
>>> v.encode('utf-16_be')
b' \xac'

I had expected to get pair of bytes with 20 AC for the € symbol
