I like Unicode more than I used to...

[Skip Montanaro]

For those of you living in a non-ASCII universe, I'm sure this will be
old-hat.  You can hit 'd' now.

Now that I have a terminal application which can display utf-8 encoded data,
I'm beginning to form a better opinion of Unicode.  I can do something like:

    >>> import codecs
    >>> f = codecs.open("foo.test", "wb", "utf-8")
    >>> f.write("abc\r\n")
    >>> f.write(u"\N{TRADE MARK SIGN}\r\n")
    >>> f.write(u"\u8482\r\n")
    >>> f.close()

then simply cat the file to see what God hath wrought:
