a simple solution would be to manually create a table of problematic
unicode characters, use the translate method on the unicode string,
and then encode using the "replace" option.
charmap = {
0x2026: u"...",
# ...
}
text = u'telephone\u2026'
text = text.translate(charmap)
text = text.encode("iso-8859-1", "replace")
print text
http://docs.python.org/lib/string-methods.html
if you want more control of the replacement, you can skip the translate
step and use your own error handler, e.g.
charmap = ... see above ...
def fixunicode(info):
s = info.object[info.start:info.end]
try:
return charmap[ord(s)], info.end
except KeyError:
# fallback
return u"<U+%04x>" % ord(s), info.end
import codecs
codecs.register_error("fixunicode", fixunicode)
text = u'telephone\u2026'
text = text.encode("iso-8859-1", "fixunicode")
hope this helps!
