I missed that part! I somehow thought the unicode issues were coming
from his use of the built-in Mac text editor.
In any case, I have never had unicode problems with vim. It seems to
handle them just fine for me. I've never had a problem opening a UTF-8
file, using a unicode string literal, and running it in Python.

When the cursor is over character, do command "ga" and it will show you
the hex code for that character.

Display current encoding:
:set fileencoding
Set encoding to UTF-8:
:set filenecoding=utf-8
