Unicode output in ipython notebook
ipython, jupyter-notebook, python, unicode
Solution
In Python 2 (with or without IPython), you can use the `unicode_escape` string codec to mimic proper Unicode `repr`s:
In [1]: print repr([u"АБ",u"ВГ"]).decode('unicode_escape')
[u'АБ', u'ВГ']

Unlike Mark Ransom's solution, this works for most common data types (including e.g. dictionaries). Note that this prevents IPython's nice formatting of large data structures, though.
Problem
I have to work with Unicode (cyrillic) characters in IPython Notebook. Are there any way to output strings in Unicode, not their unicode or utf8 codes? I'd like to have `["АБ","ВГ"]` as output in the last two examples below. ``` In [62]: "АБВ" Out[62]: '\xd0\x90\xd0\x91\xd0\x92' In [63]: u"АБВ" Out[63]: u'\u0410\u0411\u0412' In [64]: print "АБВ" АБВ In [65]: print u"АБВ" АБВ In [66]: print ["АБ","ВГ"] ['\xd0\x90\xd0\x91', '\xd0\x92\xd0\x93'] In [67]: print [u"АБ",u"ВГ"] [u'\u0410\u0411', u'\u0412\u0413'] ```
