I'm aware of the fact that for Python < 3, unicode encoding for the string 'Plants vs. Zombies䋢 2' is as below:

u"Plants vs. Zombies䋢 2".encode("utf-8")

What if I have an variable (say appName) instead of a string can I do it like this:

  appName = "Plants vs. Zombies䋢 2"
 u+appName.encode("utf-8")
