{"version":"1.0","type":"rich","title":"futzing with python encodings.","description":"This example demonstrates how Python 2.7 handles Unicode strings when serializing to and from JSON. It shows a dictionary of Ethiopic syllable names being written to a file with `json.dumps`, which escapes the characters into `\\u1234`-style sequences, and then reloaded with `json.load` to recover the original Unicode objects. The process highlights the round-trip fidelity of the `json` module, even though the intermediate file appears “escape-y,” and the code also uses `unicodedata.name` to fetch character names.","provider_name":"VizHub AI Studio","provider_url":"https://next.vizhub.com","html":"<iframe src=\"https://next.vizhub.com/viz/gist-9479993?mode=embed\" width=\"960\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"1\"></iframe>","width":960,"height":500,"cache_age":3600}
