So I got the following code from someone else, but have been trying to figure out whats wrong with it. The thing that is causing the problem is the "©" symbol apparently used to pick up the enter key (hex 0D0A or something). I've searched around a bit but everything is about how to to unicode in a string. The error also told me I could put the line "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-" in my code to fix it, but it didnt. I am not really that good in python so I am sort of clueless on how to fix something like this. Any ideas?

	def getString(self):
		data = ''
		keypress = []
		c = self.request.recv(1024)		while c == '\b':
			self.request.send(' ')				
			c = self.request.recv(1024)
		if len(©) <= 1:
			keypress.append(©)
			while c != endl:
				c = self.request.recv(1024)
				if c == endl:
					break
				elif c == '\b':
					self.request.send(' \b')
					if (len(keypress) > 0):
						keypress.pop()
					else:
						while c == '\b':
							self.request.send(' ')
							c = self.request.recv(1024)
						keypress.append(©)
				else:
					keypress.append(©)
			for key in keypress:
				data += key
		else:
			data = c
		if endl in data:
			data = data.strip(endl)
		return data

Add apostrophe's? (')

>>> '©'
'\xb8'

Yep, most definitely do that. Cake is 0:

>>> if cake == 0:
...     print 'Jenny' + '©'
... else:
...     print 'I haz cake'
...
Jenny©

Thats interesting I tried adding the apostrophes and it just broke it. I'll try that again.

Wait, what did you want to do with that symbol, get the enter key press?

Its some really stupid complicated way of getting data, the previous version of this only captured 1 letter at a time, the enter thing was someones revision so it wouldnt do that, but I think its just overly complicated, but thanks it did work.

Whoa that's neat, glad to know it worked.
