I think it is nice to add tests for C API. Especially if there is no direct mapping between Python and C API ("character in str" don't call PyUnicode_FindChar()). Tests should cover all corner cases, otherwise we can miss bugs. Some C API can be not used in CPython at all, just in third-party extensions, and special tests is the only way to test them. The implementation of PyUnicode_FindChar() is not so simple (for example see issue24821).

I don't have an opinion about supporting negative indices.
