how to show Chinese Characters in the value set of a dictionary

[zxo102]

Hi there,
I have a dictionary with values of Chinses Characters. For
example,

dict = {}
dict['c1']="ä¸*国一"
dict['c2']="ä¸*国二"
dict.values()

['\xd6\xd0\xb9\x fa\xb6\xfe', '\xd6\xd0\xb9\x fa\xd2\xbb']

Since the result of dict.values will be inserted into web pages and
handled by javascript there, I want to show Chinese Characters
in the list directly like this,

['ä¸*国一','ä¸ *国二']

Anybody knows how to do this? Thank you very much for your help.

print "['", dict.values()[0], "']", "['", dict.values()[1], "']"

[' ä¸*国二 '] [' ä¸*国一 ']

I can see these chines characters very well - so I don't see why it
won't work putting them into a HTML page. Just nake sure you use the
proper encoding, most probably utf-8.

What put you off probably is the fact that in the interpreter, strings
are printed using their __repr__-method, that puts out those "funny"
hex-characters. But no need to worry there.

Additionally, you should use unicode-objecvts instead of byte-strings

do

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
d = dict(c1=u"ä¸*å› ½ä¸€")

Notice the u in front of the string-literal.

Moreover, the "print" statement also uses repr to convert lists
to strings.

If this generally suits your purposes, and you'd just prefer to avoid
the "escape" translation in strings, then I guess you either have to
write your own repr function for the lists, or for the strings. The
first option should be fairly straightforward . For the second, I'm
thinking of something like this -

class Xtring(types.St ringType):
def __init__(self, a):
self.value = a
def __repr__(self):
return '¥'%s¥'' % self.value

dict['c1'] = Xtring('...')

print dict.values()

(Of course you should use unicode instead of string - if you can
figure out how to require the default encoding that supports
your character set. Python has an unfortunate preference for
"ascii" as a default encoding, and that's not likely to be the one
you want if you have any reason to use unicode.

might have written:

dict.values()

['\xd6\xd0\xb9\x fa\xb6\xfe', '\xd6\xd0\xb9\x fa\xd2\xbb']

Since the result of dict.values will be inserted into web pages and

['???','???']

Diez's instructions were useful to you, however for quick previewing check
