Title:
  pastebinit crashed with UnicodeEncodeError in quote(): 'utf-8' codec
  can't encode characters in position 340-342: surrogates not allowed

Status in pastebinit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I can't pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qFfThVFChK/ via stdin, only
  as a file... seen that on a lot of inputs. pastebinit should probably
  just use bytes and avoid redecoding stuff?
