That document really helped.

This page helped me to setup the console:http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html#T3

I ran:

dpkg-reconfigure locales # And enabled a en_ZA.utf8
update-locale LANG=en_ZA.utf8

(And then rebooted, but I don't know if that was necessary).

I can now print mixed language unicode to the console from Python.

Thanks for your help.

David.
