Literal/Legalistic answer: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2135 [And already quoted at http://blog.languager.org/2015/03/whimsical-unicode.html ] An answer more in the spirit of what I am trying to say: Idle3, Roy's example and in general all systems that are python-centric but use components outside of python that are unicode-broken IOW I would expect people (at least people with good faith) reading my > bug-prone-system code...seemingly working code such as python 3... to interpret that NOT as "python 3 is seemingly working but actually broken" But as "Apps made with working system code (eg python3) can end up being broken because of other non-working system code - eg mysql, java, javascript, windows-shell, and ultimately windows, linux" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
