Answer 1

You should encode your string arguments as unicode UTF-8 or later. Wrap the whole code in unicode, and/or mark individual string args as unicode (u'your text') too.

Additionally, you should make sure that unicode is enabled in your terminal/prompt window too.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

arabic_words = u'لغت العربیه'

print arabic_words
