Sublime will not print certain unicode chars on windows

Question

Been having some issues lately on my work machine (windows), where printing certain Unicode characters displays nothing. No error, just the script finishes and there is empty space in the build section.

As an example:

print(u'New Year\u2019s Day')

[Finished in 0.2s]

Not sure why this is happening as the default encoding is utf-8 in sublime as far as i know, and \u2019 is very clearly a valid utf-8 character.

As requested... sublime config:

{
    "cmd": ["C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Continuum/Anaconda3/python.exe","$file"],
    "selector":"source.py"
}

Answer 1

Try setting PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 environment in your build config:

{
   "cmd": ["C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Continuum/Anaconda3/python.exe","$file"],
   "selector":"source.py",
   "env": { 'PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8" }
}
