This is going to be tough, because "print a" gives you a string consisting of two hex values --> '\xc4\x93'. The function ord() seems to only handle single characters.
This works ...
Is there a way to decode('utf8')? Sorry, I just don't work with unicode much.
This works ...
>>> b = unichr(275) >>> b u'\u0113' >>> ord(b) 275

you could try this:
>>> a = unichr(275).encode('utf8')
>>> b = a.decode('utf8')
>>> b
u'\u0113'
>>> ord(b)

Ok thanx, this has helped me understand the problem and partially solve it, however, there is an additional problem.
When i concatate several unicoded characters like this:
How can i retrieve the original integers (88,257,109,258) from string e?
Since all characters above 255 contain two characters, how can i than determine which characters belong together, so i can decode them together (using ord()).
In other words, can i split the string in a certain way, so that it contains 'whole' characters.
I know that flash actionscript can to this, this advanced language must be able to do the same.

b = unichr(257).encode('utf8')
c = unichr(109).encode('utf8')
d = unichr(258).encode('utf8')
print a,b,c,d
e = a+b+c+d
print e
for i in e:

This seems to work too:
a = unichr(88).encode('utf8')
b = unichr(257).encode('utf8')
c = unichr(109).encode('utf8')
d = unichr(258).encode('utf8')
print a,b,c,d
e = a+b+c+d
print e
print
for c in e:
print c
print
for i in e.decode('utf8'):
print ord(i) drink her pretty
