Hi,
I'm gathering someone may have solved this problem before.
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything that worked for me via searches.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a html form - uses tinyMCE for text areas, that I type into in
Kannada. Once I submit the form, I do not save any of this text to a
db/file but just put it back in the response with a dictionary object
(one for each text area) and expect that html with charset = utf-8
will just understand things right. However, I seem to have over
simplified this in my head.
What's happening:
I notice that the string that comes through in for eg: these
characters : ಹೇ is u'\\u0cb9\\u0cc7' into my req = web.input(). If I
try to keep this as it is and send it back in a dictionary in the
response, Javascript considers the dictionary corrupted and throws me
an error. I see this set to the dictionary key in the equivalent JS
dict - u'\u0cb9\u0cc7'.
I assumed that this could be a problem python should solve for me and
I tried u'\\u0cb9\\u0cc7'.decode('utf-8').encode('utf-8') , unicode
(resp_str,'utf-8') and such. All the encoding is yielding ascii
characters and junk on the web page, with no JS errors, however.
I'm however, no more sure which part of this req-resp is really
causing a problem.
Anyone done something like this before? Will be grateful to have any
tips/ pointers as well.
Thanks,
-Megha.
