These questions are much better answered with the unicodedata.category() function. First figure out what categories your string has: cats = set(unicodedata.category(ch) for ch in s) And then check whether Sc is in that set, or whatever others you care about. This way, the set contains only the categories, not the characters; there's no reason to do set intersection with all of the characters.
