the goal is to have a 100% unicode system with utf-8 being used in any/every 8-bit or 9-bit (or up to 15-bit) stream/storage. file names, file contents, internet connections, are typically 8-bit. i once developed a 1-36 bit wrapper for the DECsystem-20 TOPS-20 system and IBM System-360 MVS and later did a 1-32 bit version for Linux (which compiled unchanged in Windows and worked compatibly). anyway, back to unicode, utf-8, and python. when might we have it so we just type in any unicode character in a text string (as a source code literal or as input() data). python 4 ?
i want to be able to print() a text string with unicode characters in it and have it come out right (the correct datacodes when redirected to a file and the correct character displayed on a terminal screen or printer).
