I missed that part! I somehow thought the unicode issues were coming from his use of the built-in Mac text editor. In any case, I have never had unicode problems with vim. It seems to handle them just fine for me. I've never had a problem opening a UTF-8 file, using a unicode string literal, and running it in Python. > I gave an emacs solution to the issue not because I find editor-wars engaging > but because I dont know how to do *this* with vi. > I'd be surprised if vi actually cant do these: > 1. Look under the unicode-hood to peek at what a char is -- C-u C-x = in emacs When the cursor is over character, do command "ga" and it will show you the hex code for that character. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Showing_the_ASCII_value_of_the_current_character > 2.
