Hi, thanks for the interesting submission! I was a bit confused by the detour via utf-8 to arrive at the code points and had to look up UTF-8 encoding first to understand how they relate. Then I tried out the following candidate = chr(0xD800) candidate2 = bytes([0xED, 0xA0, 0x80]).decode('utf-8', errors='surrogatepass') print(candidate == candidate2) # True and it seems that you could just iterate over code points directly with the `chr()` function.
