Message: [QUOTE="Terry Reedy, post: 3780245"] These are ways to *specify* unicode chars on input. If you separate text creation from text printing, you would see that they do. Try s='\u20ac' print(s) Using the interactive interpreter running in a Windows console. With the standard console, I get the same. But with IDLE, using the same Python build but through a different interface '€' # euro sign I have fiddled with the shortcut to supposed make it work better as claimed by posts found on the web, but to no avail. Very frustrating since I have fonts on the system for at least all of the first 64K chars. Scream at Microsoft or try to find or encourage a console replacement that Python could use. In the meanwhile, use IDLE. Not perfect for Unicode, but better. Terry Jan Reedy [/QUOTE]
