What exactly do you mean with "visualization"? Python itself doesn't do any visualization, all it does is to manage data. This data can be bytes exchanged with e.g. a terminal window or a file. If the file uses encoding A for some text, but Python interprets the bytes according to encoding B, no good will come of it. Similarly, if the console window expects Python to output one encoding and Python uses a different encoding, bad things happen. Further, but that now has almost nothing to do with Python directly, if the console window tries to render a character that is not contained in the current font, it will fail. The typical behaviour then is to fall back to some placeholder char, like the square you describe. Summary: It's not clear enough what you did, so it's impossible to tell what went wrong. It could also help if you told us what you wanted to achieve. That said, Python 2.7 has been out for a while, and I'd consider upgrading. Uli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
