How to detect Chinese in a string?

[lookon]

I have a string a(for example, a='¤¤¤åChinese' ), and I want to know
whether there are some Chinese in the string.

Can someone tell me how to do it? Thanks!

See

Instead of re.findall(...)

you may use

if re.search(...):
print "There are Chinese chars"

Remember to decode the string with the proper encoding first, e. g.

a = a.decode("utf-8")
