How to write Unicode text to a text file with Python?
To write Unicode text to a text file with Python, we call the file’s open method with the encoding argument.
For instance, we write
s = "南"
f = open("t1.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8")
f.write(s)
f.close()
to open the t1.txt file with write permission with open.
We call it with encoding set to 'utf-8' to open it as a Unicode text file.
Then we call f.write with string s to write the content to t1.txt.
And then we call close to close the file.
Conclusion
To write Unicode text to a text file with Python, we call the file’s open method with the encoding argument.
