urllib in Python 3 gives me no umlaut
0
I try to fetch some google results with BeautifulSoup and urllib:
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.parse import quote
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = "http://www.google.de/search?q=" + quote("ätzend")
req = Request(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})
soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(req),"html.parser")
for item in soup.select(".r a"):
print(item.text)
This is the result:
�tzende Stoffe � Wikipedia
�tzende Stoffe � Wikipedia
�tzend � Wikipedia
I tried using decode('utf-8') it doesn't help. What can I do?
Edit:
Also tried:
soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(req).read().decode('utf-8'),"html.parser")
Same problem. using utf-16 doesn't help either. The Unicode for the letter `Ä' is 196 => C4.
Edit2:
Windows Power Shell shows correct results.

Python can tell you what Unicode code that question mark is. What is it?

That is Latin1 encoding.

Your code is fine. The problem is the encoding of your terminal. Try usingcp1252(typical windows encoding). Also: are you 100% sure that the terminal uses a font that can render those characters? Because python can produce whatever result you want but the terminal then has to display it and some fonts simply do not have certain glyphs, and they will show a box or some other weird symbol instead (although the question mark is usually used for invalid characters not "missing glyph" ones).
