Another **Must Read** resource for unicode is: The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely Positively Must Know About Unicode (No Excuses!) https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/ (By the way, it is nearly 14 years later, and PHP still believes that the world is ASCII.) Python 3 makes Unicode about as easy as it can get. To include a unicode string in your source code, you just need to ensure your editor saves the file as UTF-8, and then insert (by whatever input technology you have) the character you want. You want a Greek pi? pi = "π" How about an Israeli sheqel? money = "₪1000" So long as your editor knows to save the file in UTF-8, it will Just Work. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
