Trying to type non-ascii characters with "paste(ucode(text))" is raising the UnicodeEncodeError Exception

Asked by edlothiad

I'm trying to type the following line:

type("§§§" + Key.ENTER)

After searching on here I found out about the "paste(ucode(text))", however after trying that I got stuck with the same error, notably:

IDE: (org.sikuli.scriptrunner.JythonScriptRunner@259dd9ac).runScript: Exception: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 152-157: ordinal not in range(128)

I've looked around on the internet but to no avail.

Help would be appreciated.

Sorry, 2fast4me ;-)

paste(ucode("§§§"))

is the correct use.
Make sure, you are running at least version 1.1.1
