How to Raised when a unicode problem occurs in Python ?
In Python, when a Unicode problem occurs, it raises a UnicodeError
exception.
To handle this exception, you can use a try-except
block. Here's an example:
try:
# some code that may raise a UnicodeError
except UnicodeError as e:
# handle the exception here
print("UnicodeError occurred:", e)
Alternatively, you can also use the raise
statement to raise a UnicodeError
manually. Here's an example:
text = "Hello, 世界"
try:
encoded_text = text.encode('ascii') # this will raise a UnicodeError
except UnicodeError:
raise UnicodeError("Cannot encode text as ASCII") # raise the exception manually
In this example, the encode()
method tries to encode the text
variable as ASCII, which is not possible because it contains non-ASCII characters. This will raise a UnicodeError
, which we catch and then raise again with a custom error message.
