Answer
u
is an escape sequence recognized in string literals:
Escape sequences only recognized in string literals are:
Escape Meaning Notes Sequence N{name} Character named name in the Unicode database (4) uxxxx Character with 16-bit hex value xxxx (5) Uxxxxxxxx Character with 32-bit hex value xxxxxxxx (6)Notes:
- Changed in version 3.3: Support for name aliases 1 has been added.
- Exactly four hex digits are required.
- Any Unicode character can be encoded this way. Exactly eight hex digits are required.
Use
varUnicode = input('tEnter your Unicodent>') print('\u{}'.format(varUnicode.zfill(4)).encode('raw_unicode_escape').decode('unicode_escape'))
or (maybe better)
varUnicode = input('tEnter your Unicodent>') print('\U{}'.format(varUnicode.zfill(8)).encode('raw_unicode_escape').decode('unicode_escape'))
