UnicodeDecodeError because UTF-16 surrogate pairs are not handled #58

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. fetchall() on a query that produces string values that contains a character 
which a 4-byte UTF-16 representation (surrogate pair). For instance the emoji 
smiley u'\U0001f604'.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The string values should be parsed correctly. However this exception is thrown:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf16' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: 
unexpected end of data

I think the problem is that UCS_dec() assumes that a character is always 
exactly one ucs_length long.
