Print Japanese

Question

Can I print Japanese characters on Python using print()? If so how can I print them? I tried using the unicodes of the characters but it didn’t work. For example, I tried using print(‘\u3041’) to print ぁ, but it didn’t work, it gave Error.

Answer 1

Perhaps what you use to view the output makes a difference? Are we sure that all interpreters/IDEs are capable of outputting Japanese characters?

Answer 2

Did you attempt using the "\u[4 digit hexadecimal]" notation? If you’re not and you’re using "\U", well. I’m not sure, as I use \u always. (I mean that literally.) If the characters for example, if you want to print the character "ぁ" (I cannot read Japanese, so if that is offensive, I am very, VERY sorry), you would type "print('\u3041')" (minus the double quotes, obviously.)
