I want to make a little Python utility where a user can enter the unicode numerical code and get the actual symbol back in utf-8.
For example, a user could enter something like u221E And get back ∞ Now, this does seem to work: >>> print u"\u221E" ∞ However how can I change it so it works with a string variable? print unicode("\u221E") doesn't seem to do it. I hope this makes sense. I don't know all the unicode terminology to phrase this question coherently ;-) Thanks in advance, Greg
