According to this page running print "Hello\fworld"
should give hello
and page
printed on different lines and with different indentations (something of a page break which is the purpose of the form feed character). However when I do print("Hello\fworld")
in Python 3, what I get is the female sign: Hello♀world
, which is what I also get when I run print(u"Hello\u2640world")
. How is that?
Windows console and IDLE or whatever stdout you are using dosen't support form feed characters, so you can't print them to stdout.
