Unicode utf-8/utf-16 encoding in Python

In python:

u'\u3053\n'

Is it utf-16?

I'm not really aware of all the unicode/encoding stuff, but this type of thing is coming up in my dataset, like if I have a=u'\u3053\n'.

print gives an exception and decoding gives an exception.

a.encode("utf-16") > '\xff\xfeS0\n\x00'
a.encode("utf-8") > '\xe3\x81\x93\n'
print a.encode("utf-8") > πüô
print a.encode("utf-16") > ■しかくS0

What's going on here?

    thanks yes, powershell , even powershell ISE doesn't seem "compatable" (for lack of a better understanding) with unicode in python. stackoverflow.com/questions/2105022/… Commented Feb 5, 2010 at 17:21
