This should be simple, but I can't crack it.

I have a string of Arabic symbols between u'\u0600' - u'\u06FF' and u'\uFB50' - u'\uFEFF'. For example غينيا واستمر العصبة ضرب قد.

How do I print each character's unicode number? I'm using Python 2.7.

Something like the following gives me decoding Unicode is not supported:

for c in example_string:print unicode(c,'utf-8')

You can use the ord() function.

for c in example_string:print(ord(c), hex(ord(c)), c.encode('utf-8'))

will give you the decimal, hex codepoint as well as the UTF-8 encoding for this character, like so:

(1594, '0x63a', '\xd8\xba')
(1610, '0x64a', '\xd9\x8a')
(1606, '0x646', '\xd9\x86')
(1610, '0x64a', '\xd9\x8a')
(1575, '0x627', '\xd8\xa7')
(32, '0x20', ' ')::
