Comment:
From my brief experience with Unicode in SageNB sources (#7249 adds them
to doctests), we may just need to
* Prepend `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` to every .py file. I assume we
should do this for .pyx files, too. I've attached a
[attachment:prependify.py script] that can do this, although I'm sure
there are more succinct ways.
* Use `unicode` strings for docstrings that contain non-ASCII Unicode
characters. For example,
{{{
#!python
def f(n):
u"""
Transmogrifies ``n``, heinously. ☺
"""
return transmogrify(n, algorithm='heinous')
}}}
Note: At #8000, Minh suggested polling sage-devel about allowing non-ASCII
characters in Sage library code. I'll try to do this soon.
