Displaying Special Characters Using Unicode


I want to know how to type a special character "Cherry" like the fruit. I got the Unicode string and attempted to display it, but for some reason it sees the 2 within \u1F352 as part of the string and not the Unicode sequence, so it displays something completely different: ἵ2.

import sys
print('\u1F352')

Solution

  • Using the unicode escape:

    >>> print("\U0001F352")
    🍒
    

    Using the unicode name:

    >>> print("\N{cherries}")
    🍒
    

    Using the codepoint:

    >>> print(chr(0x1f352))
    🍒
