[Tutor] strings using Czech language characters

[Leon Williams]

Hello,
 
I wish to make a dictionary of english to czech words.  I thought I would first see if python will print a czech character.  I used the example in the tutorial (it uses a euro symbol, and a different iso character set so I changed mine to include a character set that includes eastern european characters).  My results follow:
 
>>> # -*- coding: iso_8859-2 -*-
>>> cz_c = u"č"
Unsupported characters in input
 
here is a link that shows that iso 8859-2 includes lower case c with hacek - č
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-8859-2
 
I would appreciate any help, thanks.
