Getting unicode escape sequence from unicode character?

[Kenneth McDonald]

Given a Python unicode character (string of length one), how would I
find out the \uXXXX escape sequence for it? This isn't obvious from the
docs I've been looking through.

Thanks,
Ken

You can use the ord builtin, or the encode method with
"unicode_escape":
'\\u1234'
