[issue8304] strftime and Unicode characters

[Mark Lawrence]

Mark Lawrence added the comment:

Using 3.4.1 and 3.5.0 I get:-

time.strftime("%d\u200F%A", time.gmtime())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'locale' codec can't encode character '\u200f' in position 2: Illegal byte sequence
