1So what error do you get? Is this Python 2 or 3? Is this on Windows or a different platform? In an IDE or in a terminal (or Windows console)? – Martijn Pieters May 31 '15 at 21:03

You can print any unicode symbol by using the \uxxxx notation. For instance, 2588 is a code for unicode block.
print('\u2588')

Oddly enough, that only works for me in Python 3, and it looks like the OP is using Python 2. – TigerhawkT3 May 31 '15 at 21:09

There is **way** too little context in the question to even begin to answer it. – Martijn Pieters May 31 '15 at 21:12
