STINNER Victor added the comment: On Windows, the ∞ character (U+221E) is replaced with the letter 8 (U+0038) by the WideCharToMultiByte() function for most code pages: http://unicodebook.readthedocs.io/operating_systems.html#encode-and-decode-functions
Can you please describe how and where you typed the ∞ character? Are you testing on Windows? What is your Python version? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27412> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
