[issue44522] [doc] open() function errors='surrogateescape' has inaccurate information

[Bupjae Lee]

New submission from Bupjae Lee :

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open

error parameter of open() function says this:

'surrogateescape' will represent any incorrect bytes as code points in the 
Unicode Private Use Area ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF.


However, U+DC80 to U+DCFF doesn't belong to "Unicode Private Use Area"; it 
belongs to "Low Surrogate Area".



Suggested fix:

'surrogateescape' will represent any incorrect bytes as (unpaired) low 
surrogate code units ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF.

Bupjae Lee  added the comment:

I just noticed that very next sentence, "These private code points will then be 
turned back...", also needs to be fixed.

Suggested fix:

"These surrogate code units will then be turned back..."
