You don't. It's raising that exception because the terminal cannot
display that character, not because it's using the wrong encoding. As
Ian mentioned, chr() on Python 2 and chr() on Python 3 return two
different things. I'm not very familiar with the oddities of Python 2,
but I suspect sending bytes to the terminal could work since that is
what chr() on Python 2 returns.
