The OCR/text feature indeed returns a unicode string.

This does not make problems with String operations (as you can see with
your solution).

The only known problem comes up with the print statement, wich throws
this error message, if the string contains non-ascii.

There is a SikuliX uprint() function instead, that can be used in such
cases. It accepts comma separated parameters

Title:
  Jython scripting: UnicodeEncodeError with OCR --- not a bug, it's a
  feature

Status in Sikuli:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi!

  I am using Sikulix 2.0.4 on Windows 10 64bit, JAVA 11.

  Sometimes when doing OCR with Reg.text(), following error occurs with
  the resulting string:

  [error] UnicodeEncodeError ( 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201a' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) )
  [error] --- Traceback --- error source first

  my workaround is to use this function to correct the string:

  def ExtractAlphanumeric(InputString):
      from string import ascii_letters, digits
      return "".join([ch for ch in InputString if ch in (ascii_letters + digits +" ()*")])

  
  I still have the feeling, that the error should not occur in first place.
