I thought that going to Python 3.4 would solve my Unicode issues but it
seems I still don't understand this stuff.  Here is my script.

#! /usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import sys 
print(sys.getdefaultencoding()) 
print(u"\N{TRADE MARK SIGN}") 

And here is my output.

utf-8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./g", line 5, in <module>
    print(u"\N{TRADE MARK SIGN}")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u2122' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

What am I missing?

TIA.
