[Python-Dev] Can't decode \x876F character encoded in Shift JIS charset ?

[Nicolas Dumazet]

>>> unicode('\x87\x6F', "shift jis")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'shift_jis' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1:
illegal multibyte sequence

Still, \x87\x6F is a valid Shift-JIS character :
http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=ibm-943_P15A-2003&b=87&s=MIME#layout,
it is "㎜"...

Thanks,
