Is anyone familiar with using unicode text formatting on the Mac for multi-byte character sets such as Japanese, etc.? I'm trying to find a Mac Python equivalent to the windows supported unicode("Your text here", "mbcs") string conversion. MBCS has a windows origin (though Mac operating systems supported non-latin, non-english character sets and writing directions prior to their implementation in Windows. So far there has not been an implementation of the unicode "mbcs" codec for Mac Python.
