Description

iPython mishandles unicode (based on ipython from trunk): 

In [1]: print sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding
UTF-8 UTF-8

In [2]: test = u'愛'

In [3]: test
Out[3]: u'\xe6\x84\x9b'

In [4]: print test
æ

Compared to normal Python: 

>>> print sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding
UTF-8 UTF-8

>>> test = u'愛'

>>> test
u'\u611b'

>>> print test
愛
