Re: [Zope] How to display unicode character given its code

I know why (now, that you report the problem). '...' introduces a non unicode string in which "\u" is not recognized. "\u" is only recognized in unicode strings. They are introduced by "u'...'". Thus, instead of "unicode('\u2013').encode('utf-8')", I should have written "u'\u2013'.encode('utf-8')". -- Dieter
