Hi!
When I use English in the statement like this
note (u'Hello World!','info') It os OK.
But when I use my national font. I have abrakadabra.
note (u'ПРЕВЕД!','info')

What I must do to get rigth the text for normal view?

Ah, welcome to the wonderful world of character sets.

Python v2.3 introduced a way to select the source file encoding, like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-

print u"<UNICODE CHARACTERS, ENCODED IN UTF-8>"

See PEP 0263 for details: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/

Unfortunately this does not work in Python v2.2, which is the version Python for S60 has. Your editor probably uses UTF-8 or some national character set encoding. Python v2.2 expects ISO-8859-1 characters inside Unicode literals, so you cannot directly use text in your language inside Python for S60 programs. It needs to be expressed using unicode escapes:

import appuifw

appuifw.note(u"\u041f\u0420\u0415\u0412\u0415\u0414!", "info")

See these Unicode tables for correct character escapes: http://www.unicode.org/charts/

You can of course place the texts inside some other file, and read them from there: open("texts.txt").read().decode("utf-8")

this is works

but assume i want to write 1000 char

by this way
u041f\u0420\u0415\u0412\u0415\u0414

i will die before writing my program

I think you should write (the arabic part) into a file and run a script to convert whatever is written in file to UTF-8.

Then just paste these into your PyS60 code.

So i tried this program and it is giving error

import appuifw

abc=u"ПРЕВЕД"
	 
for c in abc:
	print ord(c)

And i saved this file with encoding as "UTF-8" (Previously tried with "UTF" also but same error)

ERROR was

Traceback (most recent call last): File "Z:\SYstem\Apps|python\default.py", line 81, in menu_action
f()
File "Z:\SYstem\Apps|python\default.py", line 65 in query_and_exec execfile(script_list[index][1].encode("utf-8"),script_namespace.namespace)
File "Z:\SYstem\Apps|python\unicode_try.py", line 1

And one more thing i noticed today was in both of my emulators,
S60 2nd edition FP2- wins udeb and S60 2nd edition FP2 (debug) and i am not able to display arabic characters beyond "U+064A" as note.
Is there something wrong because i was looking at arabic unicode characters and they vary from U+0600 to U+06FF.

if you wont write russian

def ru(dec):return dec.decode('utf-8')

and in script

print ru("привет")

So do in Russia

hey look my problem is solved

i used PED 2.19 application

then define my lang

def arb(x):return x.decode('utf-8')


arb('الصقر الذهبي')
