os.listdir not returning some unicode simplified chinese characters

2 New Member
Hi,

I'm trying to use os.listdir() to list directories with simplified chinese filenames. However, while I can see the filenames correctly in windows explorer, I am getting ? in the filename strings returned by os.listdir() for some chinese characters.

What should I do to make os.listdir return what I see in Windows Explorer (i.e. the full simplified chinese filename)? I am confused because os.listdir() is supposed to have unicode support.

I've tried Python 2.4.4 and 2.5.1 without noticing any differences. (Running on WinXP)

Hi, I am trying to output a string of chinese characters as a text file. When I open a file for writing from VB, the file is automatically set to UTF-8 encoding (can tell by opening the file from notepad). However, when I open this file from a Chinese program that does not support unicode, garbage is displayed. So what I have to do is to first use Notepad to change the encoding of the file to ANSI encoding, then the file would be...

Hello, I'm writing an class library that I imagine people from different countries might be interested in using, so I'm considering what needs to be provided to support foreign languages, including asian languages (chinese, japanese, korean, etc). First of all, strings will be passed to my class methods, some of which based on the language (and on the encoding) might contain characters that require more that a single byte.

I am more confused when I saw sometimes we need codepage parameter for wide character conversion, and sometimes we do not need for conversion. Here are two examples,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
