Hi All, I'm not clear on how to use the unicode module.
I need to be able to use certain characters such as the degree symbol
and the mu symbol, i.e.:
units = <"°">
if I say units=unicode("°"). I get
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
If I try x=unicode.decode(x,'utf-8'). I get
TypeError: descriptor 'decode' requires a 'unicode' object but received
a 'str'
What is the correct way to interpret these symbols that come to me as a
string?
Thanks,
Tim
