Again, from my "magic" interactive intepreter.

>>> x = 'a\u2119z'
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
'<unicode>'
>>> x
'aℙz'
>>> sys.stdout.encoding = 'cp437'
>>> print(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<eta last command>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\jm\jmpy\eta\eta41beta1\etastdio.py", line 158, in write
    s = s.encode(self.pencoding).decode('cp1252')
  File "c:\python32\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 12, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2119' in position 1:
 character maps to <undefined>
>>> print(x.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, 'replace'))
'a?z'
>>> # voilà, no error
