Is there a way to get Unicode characters into label code generated by wxFormBuilder?

For example, to get an Angstrom character the generated string should read u"\u212b".

I tried entering \u212b in the label property field but the resulting string reads u"u212b". So I tried escaping the backslash as \\u212b but that gave me u"\\u212b".

I'm using wxFormBuilder v3.5 - beta. Generating Python code, although the C++ code shows the same behaviour.

By default, wxFormBuilder includes this command (# -- coding: utf-8 -- ) on the first line at least for the python code generated.

So I went into MS word and inserted the Angstrom character Å, I then copied it into wxFormBuilder (Version 3.5 - RC1) statictext control and it worked on running the code.

Try my approach above instead of typing "u212b". Or type directly in your code like so: u"Hello... Å"
