RE: [pygame] Can any one help me on how to render non_ascii(unicode) chars on pygame screen?

Thank you, but u00a9 is not giving trademark. 
Using u'Gap\u2122' gives Trademark Symbol.

Try this. The string passed to font.render is unicode ( u'GAP\u00a9' ).

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import pygame
from pygame.locals import*

def main():
    pygame.init()
    resolution = 800, 400
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode(resolution)
    fg = 250, 240, 230
    bg = 5, 5, 5
    wincolor = 40, 40, 90
    #fill background
    screen.fill(wincolor)
    font = pygame.font.Font(pygame.font.match_font('arial'),40) 
    
    testp = u'Gap\u00a9'
    tm = font.render(testp,False,fg,bg)
    screen.blit(tm, (10, 100))
    pygame.display.flip()
    while 1:
        #use event.wait to keep from polling 100% cpu
        e=pygame.event.wait()
        if e.type in (QUIT, KEYDOWN):
            if(e.key==K_ESCAPE):
                break
 
    pygame.quit()
 

if __name__=='__main__':main()
