Re: [Jython-users] problem with encoding

[Jose M. R. <jm...@in...>]

I tried this in a Jython session:

 >>> c = unichr(225)
 >>> print ord(c), '->', c
225 -> á
 >>> c = 'á'
 >>> print ord(c), '->', c
225 -> á

And the same embedding Jython:

public class Test {
   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter();
        interp.exec("c = unichr(225)");
        interp.exec("print ord(c), '->', c");
        interp.exec("c = 'á'");
        interp.exec("print ord(c), '->', c");
}

But now the output is:
225 -> á
65533 ->  (bad charater)

This is strange because the Jython console uses the same PythonInterpreter.

Also the web documentation says "Jython have only one string type which 
support
full two-byte Unicode characters and the functions in the string module are
Unicode-aware. The u"" string modifier is optional and completely 
ignored if
specified". But in a Jython session:

 >>> print "\u00E1"
\u00E1
 >>> print u"\u00E1"
á

So the u"" modifier is needed here, I guess it is for compatibilty with 
CPython.
