ValueError

[lancess]

Hi,

beautifulsoup 3.1.0.1 is crashing on this javascript:
sortrevind.innerHTML = stIsIE ? '&nbsp<font face="webdings">5</
font>' : '&nbsp;&#x25B4;';

Can you help?

[python] File "BeautifulSoup.py", line 1047, in handle_charref
[python] data = unichr(int(ref))
[python] ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10:
'x25B4'

Thanks
