Writing Unicode text to a text file?

Question

I\'m pulling data out of a Google doc, processing it, and writing it to a file (that eventually I will paste into a Wordpress page).

It has some non-ASCII symbols. H

Answer 1

Unicode string handling is already standardized in Python 3.

1. char's are already stored in Unicode (32-bit) in memory

2. You only need to open file in utf-8
   (32-bit Unicode to variable-byte-length utf-8 conversion is automatically performed from memory to file.)

   out1 = "(嘉南大圳 ㄐㄧㄚ　ㄋㄢˊ　ㄉㄚˋ　ㄗㄨㄣˋ )"
   fobj = open("t1.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8")
   fobj.write(out1)
   fobj.close()
