[Python-Dev] cpython: Issue #16218: skip test if filesystem doesn't support required encoding

[Alexandre Vassalotti]

The Unicode code points in the
U+DC00-DFFF<http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UDC00.pdf>
 range (low surrogate area) can't be encoded in UTF-8. Quoting from
RFC 3629<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629>
:

*The definition of UTF-8 prohibits encoding character numbers between
U+D800 and U+DFFF, which are reserved for use with the UTF-16 encoding form
(as surrogate pairs) and do not directly represent characters.*


It looks like this test was doing something specific with regards to this.
So, I am curious as well about this change.
