Character reading from file in Python
In a text file, there is a string “I don’t like this”.
ascii
Where is Python’s “best ASCII for this Unicode” database?
I have some text that uses Unicode punctuation, like left double quote, right single quote for apostrophe, and so on, and I need it in ASCII. Does Python have a database of these characters with obvious ASCII substitutes so I can do better than turning them all into “?” ? Answers: Thank you for visiting … Read more

How to determine the character encoding that a terminal uses in a C/C++ program?
I’ve noticed that SyncTERM uses a different character encoding than the default MacOS terminal emulator, and they’re incompatible with one another. For example, say you want to print a block character in a format string. In SyncTERM, which uses the IBM Extended ASCII character encoding, you would use an octal escape sequence like 261. In Terminal.app (and probably iTerm2 as well), this just prints a question mark. Since these terminals use UTF-8, you need to use the uxxxx escape sequence.
