>>> u"\u88cf".encode("big5hkscs") '\xf9\xd8' works fine (and always has been working fine), and the character clearly is in big5hkscs. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big5 F9D8 is "Reserved for user-defined characters", so this suggests that the character does *not* have a fixed meaning in BIG-5. However, it is part of the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7856> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
