How do I get a character from its Unicode index number in Python?

In JavaScript, you probably know there is something called `String.fromCharCode();`. Is there a Python equivalent of that? (I need it to involve Unicode, not ASCII.) Thanks a lot!

ChaoticDawg: 'u' prefix for unicode string is only required for Python before version 3. Since Python3, strings are default unicode (and you need prefix litteral string with 'b' to define binary/ascii strings, wich are the default string type before version 3 ^^ Erik Johanson: The function you are looking for is unichr() if you use Python before version 3: https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#unichr Else, for Python from version 3, you simply use the chr() function (as since Python3 it would work with unicode range values, what wasn't the case before)...

Rafael Kohn: To optimize the probabilities to get an accurate answer, I would suggest you to create a new thread with similar well formed question but tagged with the targeted language you need, as this one is specified about Python ( personnaly I don't well know C# and so I cannot help you... ) ;)

If you just need to print it out all you need to do is have the unicode in the string like so: print(u'\u002B') # outputs + for multiples you just chain them together: print(u'\u002B\u003E') # outputs +> You can also store them in a variable and concatenate them to a string: a = u'\u002B\u003E' print("This string is concatenated to the unicode characters " + a) More info: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/unicode.html#the-unicode-type
