Let us use the character Latin Capital Letter a with Ogonek (U+0104) as an example.
I have an int that represents its UTF-8 encoded form:
my_int = 0xC484
# Decimal: `50308`
# Binary: `0b1100010010000100`
If use the unichr
function i get: \uC484
or 쒄
(U+C484)
But, I need it to output: Ą
How do I convert my_int
to a Unicode code point?
To convert the integer 0xC484
to the bytestring '\xc4\x84'
(the UTF-8 representation of the Unicode character Ą
), you can use struct.pack()
:
>>> import struct
>>> struct.pack(">H", 0xC484)
'\xc4\x84'
... where >
in the format string represents big-endian, and H
represents unsigned short int.
Once you have your UTF-8 bytestring, you can decode it to Unicode as usual:
>>> struct.pack(">H", 0xC484).decode("utf8")
u'\u0104'
>>> print struct.pack(">H", 0xC484).decode("utf8")
Ą
