How do you convert a Unicode string (containing extra characters like £ $, etc.) into a Python string?

You have two options to create Unicode string in Python. Either use decode() , or create a new Unicode string with UTF-8 encoding by unicode(). The unicode() method is unicode(string[, encoding, errors]) , its arguments should be 8-bit strings.
escape() method(for Python 3.4+), we can convert the ASCII string into HTML script by replacing ASCII characters with special characters by using html. escape() method. By this method we can decode the HTML entities into text. We can also use Beautiful Soup which handles entity conversion.
UTF-8 is a byte oriented encoding. The encoding specifies that each character is represented by a specific sequence of one or more bytes.
