title: Python storing Arabic in an Array?
body: <p>Im using python V2.7, I have an array <strong>ArbSyn</strong> that has arabic string but they are stored as unicode, I want to convert them to normal Arabic letter and store them in the array <strong>ArbSynFinal</strong>.  When I print <strong>encoded</strong> its printed in arabic letters but when I store it in <strong>ArbSynFinal</strong> using <strong>ArbSynFinal.append()</strong> and print it, its in unicode again, how can I solve this problem ?</p>
  
  <pre><code> print("----ArbSyn----")
  print ArbSyn
  ArbSynFinal=[]
  for bca in ArbSyn: #Converting from unicode to arabic done
      encoded=bca.encode('utf-8')#this works fine
      encoded= u"".join([c for c in bca if not unicodedata.combining(c)])
      print encoded
      ArbSynFinal.append(encoded)
  print("------Arb Syn Final----------")
  print ArbSynFinal
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>----ArbSyn----
  [u'\u0627\u0642\u062a\u0631\u062d', u'\u0627\u062d\u062f\u0627\u062b', u'\u0645\u0648\u0633\u0633', u'\u0631\u0627\u062f', u'\u062a\u0633\u064a\u0633', u'\u0627\u062d\u062f\u0627\u062b',]
