Actually, it's more likely that the char you are grabbing is UTF-16 not
UTF-8 which is moving into the double byte...
* An assumption based on the following output:
>>> u = u'\u2014'
>>> s = u.encode("utf-16")
>>> print(s)
■¶
>>> s = u.encode("utf-32")
>>> print(s)
■ ¶
>>> s = u.encode("utf-16L

For starters, move away from Python 2 unless you have a good reason to use
it.

Hi Dave,
you should set the correct encoding (maybe utf-8) in order to handle
