Hi, I just noticed that the non-BMP Unicode Literals don't seem to work correctly in IronPython, this seems to work correctly in cPython 2.7.8:
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:03:49) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> u"\U00010042" u'\U00010042' IronPython 2.7.4 (2.7.0.40) on .NET 4.0.30319.18444 (32-bit) >>> u"\U00010042" 'B' I guess this truncation is caused by the UTF-16 nature of .NET strings. I guess the most sensible thing IronPython could do here is to create the correct surrogate pair: >>> System.Text.Encoding.UTF32.GetString((0x42, 0, 1, 0)) u'\ud800\udc42' Best regards Markus Schaber CODESYS(r) a trademark of 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH Inspiring Automation Solutions 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH Dipl.-Inf.
