If you have a computer made for the US market, you most likely don't have char 0156 (a hex number) in your character set.

Also note that editors like DrPython, SPE and UliPad screw up unicode character sets in their output window. Use PyScripter or ConText to get at least some order into playing with unicode.

In PyScripter you can avoid the error by changing the engine setiing to international.
