What does that have to do with wxPython? It looks like you're just mis-
using Python 2.7.
In Python 2.7, 'ሴЃ' is not a Unicode string, it is a byte string. The
exact bytes you get are not well-defined but on many systems you may get
a UTF-8 encoded byte string:
py> sys.version
'2.7.4 (default, Apr 18 2013, 17:48:59) \n[GCC 4.4.5]'
py> for b in 'ሴЃ':
... print hex(ord(b)), b
...
0xe1
0x88 �
0xb4 �
0xd0
0x83 �
If you use a Unicode string instead:
py> for c in u'ሴЃ':
... print hex(ord(c)), c
...
0x1234 ሴ
0x403 Ѓ
py> for b in u'ሴЃ'.encode('utf-8'):
... print hex(ord(b)), b
...
0xe1
0x88 �
0xb4 �
0xd0
0x83 �
Even if it is true that wxPython cannot handle Unicode text, you haven't
shown it here.
