New submission from Steven D'Aprano: The documentation for string escapes suggests that \uxxxx escapes can be used to generate characters in the Supplementary Multilingual Planes by using surrogate pairs:
"Individual code units which form parts of a surrogate pair can be encoded using this escape sequence." http://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals E.g. in Python 3.2: py> '\uD80C\uDC80' == '\U00013080' True but that is no longer the case in Python 3.3. I suggest the documentation should just remove that note. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 193787 nosy: docs@python, stevenjd priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove redundant note about surrogates in string escape doc versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18572> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
