Python unicode character codes?

Is there a way to "insert" a Unicode character into a string in Python 3? For example,

>>>import unicode
>>>string = 'This is a full block: %s' % (unicode.charcode(U+2588))
>>>print(string)
This is a full block: █

    ... or with unichr(), if you want to create a character from a dynamic code point (doesn't seem to be the case here; I added it for completeness). Commented Nov 3, 2012 at 21:58

    If you prefer something more readable, you can use u'This is a full block: \N{FULL BLOCK}'. Commented Nov 3, 2012 at 22:34

    Where can I find a list of that names like FULL BLOCK? Commented Mar 23, 2016 at 9:46
  • @buhtz, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements lists blocks; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_symbols -> decodeunicode.org/de/u+2580 . HTH Commented Jun 3, 2016 at 16:18
  • Is the number you put after the \u decimal, hexadecimal, octal, or what exactly? Commented Oct 24, 2019 at 3:57
