How to concatenate string with unichar in python 2.7?

Question

How to concatenate str with unichr in python 2.7 in Jupyter IPython? As I've tried following.

string = 'blah blah'
unicode_char = unichr(169)
end_str = string + unicode_char
end_str

would throw u'blah blah\xa9' where I want to display like blah blah©.

In Python 2 the strings are bytes and when you add a byte out of ASCII scope the string represents it as \x and a hexadecimal code. But if you call your unicode string from print it will show de unicode caracter, in your case a copyright symbol.

print end_str
