Quite. My point was that with older Python on a narrow build (Windows and Mac) you need to understand that you are using UTF-16 rather than Unicode. On a wide build or Python 3.3+ then all is rosy. (At this point I'm tempted to put in a winky emoji but that might push the internal representation into UCS-4.) -- Pete Forman -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
