Thanks, I think that helps. Basically I'm decoding HTML character references. "’" is a character reference, equal to a single quote (ish). http://ganesh.bronco.co.uk/example.html is the character in action. I want to get from the string "x2019" to the Unicode character ’. However, your help has lead me to a solution! >>> u"\u2019" u'\u2019' >>> unichr(int("2019", 16)) u'\u2019' >>> That's got it - thanks :-) -Rob > Frank Millman’ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
