Answer 1

Cleaner version:

>>> test_string = '1101100110000110110110011000001011011000101001111101100010101000'
>>> print ('%x' % int(test_string, 2)).decode('hex').decode('utf-8')

Inverse (from @Robᵩ's comment):

>>> '{:b}'.format(int(u'نقاب'.encode('utf-8').encode('hex'), 16))
1: '1101100110000110110110011000001011011000101001111101100010101000'
