When I try the latter example, I get an error:

lst = ["hello", "world"]
print unicode.join(u"\u00d7", lst)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test1.py", line 2, in ?
    print unicode.join(u"\u00d7", lst)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xd7' in
position 5: ordinal not in range(128)
