title: Python: block character will not print
body: <p>In IDLE, <code>print(chr(219))</code> (219's the block character) outputs "Û". </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get it to output the block character instead? </p>
  
  <p>This might actually be some sort of computer-wide problem, as I cannot seem to get the block character to print from anywhere, copying it out of charmap and into <strong>any</strong> textbox just results in the Û.</p>
