Hi,
I am looking for test data with accented and multibyte characters. I have found
a good resource that I could use to cobble something together
(http://www.inter-locale.com/whitepaper/learn/learn-to-test.html) but I was
hoping somebody knows some ready resource.
I also have some questions about encoding. In the code below, is there a
difference between unicode() and .decode?
s = "§ÇǼÍÍ"
x = unicode(s, "utf-8")
y = s.decode("utf-8")
x == y # returns True
Also, is it, at least theoretically, possible to mix different encodings in
byte strings? I'd say no, unless there are multiple BOMs or so. Not that I'd
like to try this, but it'd improve my understanding of this sort of obscure
topic.
Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
