The second form should be used, but not in interactive mode. In a Python script, make sure you properly declare the encoding of your script, e.g. # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- print u'é' That should work. If not, give us your Python version, operating system name, and mode of operation. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
