Thanks. Is it true that any unicode chars can also be used inside regex literally?
e.g. re.search(ur'â+',mystring,re.U) I tested this case and apparently i can. But is it true that any unicode char can be embedded in regex literally. (does this apply to the esoteric ones such as other non-printing chars and combining forms...) ---- Related...: The official python doc: http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/module-re.html says: "Regular expression pattern strings may not contain null bytes, but can specify the null byte using the \number notation." What is meant by null bytes here? Unprintable chars?? and the "\number" is meant to be decimal? and in what encoding?
