Unicode code point

In this section, we are going to learn about the unicode code point. Python has a powerful built-in function named ord() to get a Unicode code point from a given character. So, let's see an example of getting a Unicode code point from a character, as shown in the following code:

>>> str1 = u'Office'>>> for char in str1:... print('U+%04x' % ord(char))...U+004fU+0066U+0066U+0069U+0063U+0065>>> str2 = >>> for char in str2:... print('U+%04x' % ord(char))...U+4e2dU+6587
