I am making a romaji to hiragana translator and am getting an error when I try this concatenation. I made a list of keys and am using a for loop to make a dictionary by the sequential nature of unicode.
combos = {}
for hexy in range(12363, 12435):
combos[sounds[12363 - hexy]] = ('\u%s' % str(chr(hex(hexy))))
I get the error
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX escape
I have tried doubling the backslashes, separating the u and backslash, using a + instead of value insertion, and checking out when other people got similar errors.
If you want the character, just use chr(hexy).
If you want an escape code and assuming Python 3.6+, use f'\\u{hexy:04x}'.
for example (dropped sounds since it wasn't defined):
combos = {}
for i,hexy in enumerate(range(12363, 12435)):
combos[i] = chr(hexy)
print(combos)
Result:
{0: 'か', 1: 'が', 2: 'き', 3: 'ぎ', 4: 'く', 5: 'ぐ', 6: 'け', 7: 'げ', 8: 'こ', 9: 'ご', 10: 'さ', 11: 'ざ', 12: 'し', 13: 'じ', 14: 'す', 15: 'ず', 16: 'せ', 17: 'ぜ', 18: 'そ', 19: 'ぞ', 20: 'た', 21: 'だ', 22: 'ち', 23: 'ぢ', 24: 'っ', 25: 'つ', 26: 'づ', 27: 'て', 28: 'で', 29: 'と', 30: 'ど', 31: 'な', 32: 'に', 33: 'ぬ', 34: 'ね', 35: 'の', 36: 'は', 37: 'ば', 38: 'ぱ', 39: 'ひ', 40: 'び', 41: 'ぴ', 42: 'ふ', 43: 'ぶ', 44: 'ぷ', 45: 'へ', 46: 'べ', 47: 'ぺ', 48: 'ほ', 49: 'ぼ', 50: 'ぽ', 51: 'ま', 52: 'み', 53: 'む', 54: 'め', 55: 'も', 56: 'ゃ', 57: 'や', 58: 'ゅ', 59: 'ゆ', 60: 'ょ', 61: 'よ', 62: 'ら', 63: 'り', 64: 'る', 65: 'れ', 66: 'ろ', 67: 'ゎ', 68: 'わ', 69: 'ゐ', 70: 'ゑ', 71: 'を'}
