I already changed to u for the char, so I got a bigger number, and only
subtracted 3 from umlaut, which should have given me the dos line-drawing
dash, but now my problem is I can't seem to set encoding for that:

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('cp437')

gives me the error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'

What the Nations of the World Fail to Realize, is That we are Living in a
Closed System:

In March 2013, researchers from the Stanford University Hopkins Marine
Station issued a report on Bluefin tuna caught off the California coast and
tested for radioactive cesium. The report found that Bluefin tuna were 100
per cent contaminated, that not one was cesium-free. The report did not
address such questions as whether cesium would continue to accumulate in
tuna or whether it was appearing in other fish species.
