You could use Unicode string literals directly instead of using the
codepoint, making it a bit more self-documenting and saving you the
later call to ord():
high_chars = {
u'\u2014': '—',
u'\u2013': '–',
...
}
for c in string:
if ord(c) in high_chars:
c = high_chars.get(ord(c))
s += c
return s
Instead of checking if there is a replacement and then looking up the
replacement again, just use the default:
for c in string:
s += high_chars.get(c, c)
Alternatively, if you find that clearer, you could also check if the
returnvalue of get() is None to find out if there is a replacement:
for c in string:
r = high_chars.get(c)
if r is None:
s += c
else:
s += r
