This one fails:

<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /></head>
<body><% print u"CJ7 \u2665" %></body>
</html>

with:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

This tip from http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/701452 will fix it:

<%\
import sys,codecs
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdout)
print u"CJ7 \u2665"
%>

However, Python expressions still fail with a UnicodeEncodeError:

<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /></head>
<body>
<%\
import sys,codecs
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdout)
s = u"CJ7 \u2665"
# below works
print s
%>
<!-- this one generates error --><%= s %>
</body>
</html>

Any tips on how to get this to work?
