ASCII doesn't contain Chinese characters.
Well, ASCII can represent the Unicode numerically -- if that is what the OP wants. For example, "U+81EC" (all ASCII) is one possible -- not very readable though <g> -- representation of a Hanzi character (see http://www.cojak.org/index.php?function=code_lookup&term=81EC). (I don't know anything about Hanzi or Mandarin... But that's Unicode, so this works :) Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
