More specifically, the characters in the extended ASCII set.

Admittedly, I've only tried raw_input(), but that's the only method I know except file input, to which I'm trying to avoid resorting.

Whenever I input a character in the extended ASCII set (say, "�"), I get a UnicodeEncodeError exception. Google has not helped me much, as I am only able to find descriptions on how to use foreign characters in the Python file itself, which is of no use to me.

Thanks for any help, if you have any.
