If I assign unicode raw literals to a variable, I can read its value:
>>> s = u'\u0421\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043e' >>> s u'\u0421\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043e' >>> print s Сообщение отправлено But when I have already assigned value to a plain, not unicode string, I can not:
>>> s = '\u0421\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043e' >>> s '\\u0421\\u043e\\u043e\\u0431\\u0449\\u0435\\u043d\\u0438\\u0435 \\u043e\\u0442\\u043f\\u0440\\u0430\\u0432\\u043b\\u0435\\u043d\\u043e' >>> print s \u0421\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043e How can I decode and read it?

To decode a string encoded in UTF-8 format, we can use the decode() method specified on strings. This method accepts two arguments, encoding and error . encoding accepts the encoding of the string to be decoded, and error decides how to handle errors that arise during decoding.
If the character string literal has a prefix of N, the literal is treated as a Unicode string. When the N prefix is used, the characters in the literal are read as WCHAR characters. Any string literal with non-ASCII characters is treated as a Unicode literal by default.
To allow working with Unicode characters, Python 2 has a unicode type which is a collection of Unicode code points (like Python 3's str type). The line ustring = u'A unicode \u018e string \xf1' creates a Unicode string with 20 characters.
Use the built-in function repr() to convert normal strings into raw strings. The string returned by repr() has ' at the beginning and the end. Using slices, you can get the string equivalent to the raw string.
Use the unicode_escape codec:
s.decode('unicode_escape') If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
