Probably not.
"Wide character in print" means that a string was (internally) marked
UTF-8 and the string truly contains > 0xff (wide) characters, and you
tried to output that. Since wide characters cannot be output as such
(a conversion to bytes is needed, using some character set mapping),
print() barfed. This is one of the dreaded "should not happen" cases.
