Sure, that's because \u only works in unicode strings. You'd need
to "encode" your \u-containing string to a unicode string. Perhaps
this'll help:
>>> def to_unicode(num):
... character = "\\u"+num
... return character.decode("unicode-escape")
...
>>> to_unicode("221E")
u'\u221e'
>>> print to_unicode("221E")
∞
(improvements welcome)
