[Zope] Replacing an unicode string

Hi folks, I have an unicode string: text = u'ABC<EURO>' Now I want to do a replacement of the string u'<EURO>' to u'\u20ac' (this is the euro sign). When I type text = text.replace(u'<EURO>', u'\u20ac') nothing happens, the string is still u'ABC<EURO>' How can I replace the tag '<EURO>' and insert the euro sign instead? Regards Florian Reiser
