Convert a string into unicode escape sequences

Question

How can I convert a string so that each character is replaced with the corresponding Unicode escape sequence?

Something like:

def unicode_escape(s):
    """How do I write this?"""

print(unicode_escape("Hello, World!n"))
# should print u0048u0065u006Cu006Cu006Fu002Cu0020...

Answer 1

The ord() function returns the Unicode code point of a character. Just format this as u followed by a 4-digit hex representation of that.

def unicode_escape(s):
    return "".join(map(lambda c: rf"u{ord(c):04x}", s))
print(unicode_escape("Hello, World!n"))
# prints u0048u0065u006cu006cu006fu002cu0020u0057u006fu0072u006cu0064u0021u000a

def encode(s):
    ret = []
    for c in s:
        n = ord(c)
        ret.append("\u{:04x}".format(n))
    return "".join(ret)
#


print(encode("aeiouäöüßéá€æÆΑαΒβΓγ"))
