UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013'

Question

I am iterating over a list of words (which I didn't generate)

print(u'\n'.join('{}:{}'.format(w, f) for f,w in words))

I get the error:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

The non problematic words are getting printed as expected. How can I fix this print statement?

Answer 1

使用.encode（）方法：

print(u'\n'.join('{}:{}'.format(w.encode('utf-8'), f).decode('utf-8') for f,w in words))
