Python has been updated to Unicode 6.0.0. The new features of the

Unicode Standard that will affect Python users include:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
among them the additional emoji symbols, which are especially
|
||||
important for mobile phones;
|
||||
|
||||
* corrects character properties for existing characters including
|
||||
- a general category change to two Kannada characters (U+0CF1,
|
||||
U+0CF2), which has the effect of making them newly eligible for
|
||||
inclusion in identifiers;
|
||||
|
||||
- a general category change to one New Tai Lue numeric character
|
||||
(U+19DA), which would have the effect of disqualifying it from
|
||||
inclusion in identifiers unless grandfathering measures are in place
|
||||
for the defining identifier syntax.

The :mod:`os` module has two new functions: :func:`~os.fsencode` and
