Unicode python Error

i'm trying to print : Pokémon GO Việt Nam

print u"Pokémon GO Việt Nam"

and i'm getting :

print u"PokÚmon GO Vi?t Nam"
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 0: unexpected end of data

i've tried : 

.encode("utf-8")
.decode("utf-8")
.decode('latin-1').encode("utf-8")
unicode(str.decode("iso-8859-4"))

My python version is 2.7.9 , Notepad++ UTF-8 encoding . with no luck , how can i print it ? and i'm encountering this kind of issues all the time , what's the proper way to debug and get the right encoding ?

  • @BrendaMartinez: what encoding is your editor using? Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 21:38
  • @BrendaMartinez make sure that both your IDE encoding as well as the project encoding are set to 'utf-8' Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 21:39
  • Utf-8 , notepad++ Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 21:39
  • @BrendaMartinez well notepad++ is another problem :) use a proper IDE such as PyCharm: you'll get all the benefits of IDE such as debugging and inspection capabilities as well as many other goodies. Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 21:41
