The unicodedata module has two test cases which run through the database and make a hash of its visible outputs for all codepoints, comparing the hash against a checksum.  These are helpful regression tests for making sure the behavior isn't changed by patches that didn't intend to change it.

But Unicode has grown since Python first gained support for it, when Unicode itself was still rather new.  These test cases were added in commit 6a20ee7de back in 2000, and they haven't needed to change much since then... but they should be changed to look beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane (`range(0x10000)`) and cover all 17 planes of Unicode's final form.

Spotted in discussion on GH-15019 (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/15019#discussion_r308947884 ).  I have a patch for this which I'll send shortly.

Sent two small PRs!

The first one, GH-15125, makes the substantive test change I described above.

The second one, GH-15126, is a small pure refactor to that test file, just cleaning out some bits that made sense when it was first written (as a script) but are confusing now that it's a `unittest` test module.  Took me a couple of minutes to sort those out when I first dug into this file, and I figure it'd be kind to the next person to save them the same effort.
