You are trying to create a Unicode object from a Unicode object. Doesn't make any sense. > on 2.6? Without the 'u' prefix, 2.6 will just encode it as a normal > (byte) string and escape the backslash. You are confusing encoding and decoding. unicode(str) = str.decode. To print it you have to encode it again to a character set that the terminal understands and that contains the desired character. Thorsten -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
