Then you have two problems: First, you don't have unicode characters but a bunch of bytes which encode the three characters you've showed above. Reversing the bytes might "break" them if your system uses multiple bytes to encode one character, e.g. UTF-8, because the order does matter. Second, if you don't ``print`` but let the interpreter show the result you get the `repr()` form of that character displayed, which always uses escapes for bytes that are non-printable or not within the ASCII range for strings.

This is why Python 3 switched to using Unicode by default.

Umlauts in idle
Hello all, When I try to use umlauts in idle it will only print out as Unicode escape characters. Is it possible to configure idle to print them as ordinary characters? Best Regards Anders Olme -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
