How to concatenate multiple unicode string?

Question

I have two unicode string '가' and 'ㄱ' and I want to concatenate them to get "가ㄱ"

This is my code:

output1 = unicodeQueue(self.queue) # first unicode result
output2 = unicodeQueue(self.bufferQueue) # second unicode result
sequence = [output1, output2]
print sequence
output = ''.join(sequence)
return output

And this is the output I'm getting:

[u'\uac00', u'\u3131']
ㄱ가가ㄱ가

I don't know why it doesn't produce correct result, can anyone help me with this?

Solution

if you want to concatenate two strings use +

>>> '가' + 'ㄱ'
'\xea\xb0\x80\xe3\x84\xb1'
>>> u'가' + u'ㄱ'
u'\uac00\u3131'
>>> print u'가' + u'ㄱ'
가ㄱ

this means you can use

output1 + output2

I am unable to reproduce this.

@NPE I uploaded my partial script, the main of my question is "how to concatenate two unicode in python?"

@user1732445: there's nothing obviously wrong w/ your code.

Works for me. May be try u''.join(sequence).

@KennyTM Hmm. Thanks.. at now It works for me...

Same here, nothing wrong with the join, it works as supposed to the unicodeQueue class?

Keep in mind that + works more slowly than unicode.join(u'',vals) or str.join('',vals), but if it works when join doesn't, by all means, use it.
