I want to make a little Python utility where a user can enter the
unicode numerical code and get the actual symbol back in utf-8.
For example, a user could enter something like u221E
And get back $B!g(B
Now, this does seem to work:
>>print u"\u221E"
$B!g(B
However how can I change it so it works with a string variable?
print unicode("\u221E ") doesn't seem to do it.
I hope this makes sense. I don't know all the unicode terminology to
phrase this question coherently ;-)
Thanks in advance,

Sure, that's because \u only works in unicode strings. You'd need
to "encode" your \u-containing string to a unicode string. Perhaps
this'll help:
>>def to_unicode(num) :
.... character = "\\u"+num
.... return character.decod e("unicode-escape")
....
>>to_unicode("2 21E")
u'\u221e'
>>print to_unicode("221 E")
∞
(improvements welcome)

Thanks to both of you. Those approaches make sense. Here's the final
result if you're curious:

Not sure what operating system you are using. On Windows, I recommend
that you look at the charmap.exe utility. On Linux, try gucharmap
or kcharselect.

the unicode and spit out exactly what I had typed in. How do I go from
a byte of unicode bytes to a string?

Is that because such a function does not exists or do I overlook it?
I found Encoding.Convert, but that needs byte arrays.

Hello,

to support foreign languages, including asian languages (chinese, japanese,

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.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
