Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: At least from point of view, the difference between ints and chars is: * "u'%c' % 0xB5" means "create a Unicode char with codepoint 0xB5", i.e. the Unicode char µ U+00B5 MICRO SIGN; * "u'%c' % '\xB5'" means "create a Unicode char converting the byte '\xB5' to Unicode", i.e. an Е U+0415 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IE if the byte string is encoded in iso-8859-5 or ต U+0E15 THAI CHARACTER TO TAO if it's encoded in iso-8859-11, and so on for every different encoding.
