Is it possible to change character encoding in the playground? According to a test I ran, the interpreter can only handle ascii.

Question

Character encoding in the Python interpreter.
Can it be changed from ascii to utf-8? I ran this code to see what it could handle:

Answer 1

It seems that utf-8 is not supported here:

I tried to output unicode in c++ here but failed too. You get ASCII codes if you output chr type of a number; it replies an error if you try hex base number like U+0058.

Answer 2

Agreed, I tried the same things in Python.
