unicode-literals

I'd like to write unicode literal U+10428 in Java. http://www.marathon-studios.com/unicode/U10428/Deseret_Small_Letter_Long_I I tried with '\u10428' and it doesn't compile. Because Java went full-out unicode when people thought 64K are enough for everyone (Where did one hear such before?), they started out with UCS-2 and later upgraded to UTF-16. But they never bothered to add an escape sequence for unicode characters outside the BMP. Thus, your only recourse is manually recoding to a UTF-16 surrogate-pair and using two UTF-16 escapes. Your example codepoint U+10428 is "\uD801\uDC28" . I used

How can I encode the Unicode character U+0048 (H), say, in a PowerShell string? In C# I would just do this: "\u0048" , but that doesn't appear to work in PowerShell. Shay Levy Replace '\u' with '0x' and cast it to System.Char: PS > [char]0x0048 H You can also use the "$()" syntax to embed a Unicode character into a string: PS > "Acme$([char]0x2122) Company" AcmeT Company Where T is PowerShell's representation of the character for non-registered trademarks. According to the documentation, PowerShell Core 6.0 adds support with this escape sequence: PS> "`u{0048}" H see https://docs.microsoft.com

We've already gotten our code base running under Python 2.6. In order to prepare for Python 3.0, we've started adding: from __future__ import unicode_literals into our .py files (as we modify them). I'm wondering if anyone else has been doing this and has run into any non-obvious gotchas (perhaps after spending a lot of time debugging). Koba The main source of problems I've had working with unicode strings is when you mix utf-8 encoded strings with unicode ones. For example, consider the following scripts. two.py # encoding: utf-8 name = 'helló wörld from two' one.py # encoding: utf-8 from _
