[issue37871] 40 * 473 grid of "é" has a single wrong character on Windows

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

I'd rather keep encoding incrementally, and reduce the length of each attempt until the last UTF-8 character does not have its top bit set (i.e. is the final character in a multi-byte sequence).

Otherwise the people who like to print >2GB worth of data to the console will complain about the memory error :)
