Why doesn't SL's code playground support unicode characters, while most others do?

Question

SoloLearn's code playground supports python 3. And most of the python3 interpreters directly support unicode characters. But why doesn't SoloLearn's code playground do the same? Why doesn't it support the unicode characters?

Answer 1

I think it will work, but just try it with this code snippet:

# code from cbr
#Add this to the beginning of the code:
import sys
import codecs
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf_16')(sys.stdout.buffer, 'strict')
print("äöüß дЍΏ") # this line is for test only, you can add your own characters here to test

Answer 2

Ok, that might be. But the fact that one online compiler supports it doesn't mean the other one supports it, too. I just don't think it's the interpreters fault so I assume it's caused by the file type that's send to the servers...

Answer 3

I believe I have seen some codes written to output UTF characters (in terms of emoji), maybe you can search them in Code Playground. Or perhaps you meant something else?

Answer 4

Maybe because they send the code to their servers as simple ASCII text file or something. The Python interpreter itself will certainly support unicode but as I said it must be sent to a server first.

Answer 5

I tried from Dcoder. It is also a online compiler. And it supports unicode characters.
