Here is a list of chinese characters that can be read from a file [in GB18030 encoding], but unable to encode to GB18030 encoding

detailed:
used codecs.open(r'file name', encoding='GB18030') to read the characters from a file, and try to encode them word by word into GB18030 with word.encode('GB18030'). The action caused an exception with 'illegal multibyte sequence'

the attachment is also the list.
