It often happens that you have non-Roman text data in Unicode, but you can’t display it – usually because you’re trying to show it to a user via an application that doesn’t support Unicode, or because the fonts you need aren’t accessible. You could represent the Unicode characters as “???????” or ” BA A0q0…”, but that’s nearly useless to the user who actually wants to read what the text says.
What Unihandecode provides is a function, ‘decode(…)’ that takes Unihancode data and tries to represent it in ASCII characters (i.e., the universally displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F). The representation is almost always an attempt at transliteration – i.e., conveying, in Roman letters, the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system.
For example; >>>d = Unidecoder() >>>d.decode(u”u5317u4EB0”) ‘Bei Jing’. d = Unidecoder(lang=’ja’) >>>d.decode(u”u5317u4EB0”) ‘Pe King’
