How to open html file?

Question

I have html file called test.html it has one word בדיקה.

I open the test.html and print it's content using this block of code:

file = open("test.html", "r") print file.read() 

but it prints ??????, why this happened and how could I fix it?

BTW. when I open text file it works good.

Edit: I'd tried this:

>>> import codecs >>> f = codecs.open("test.html",'r') >>> print f.read() ????? 

Answer 1

import codecs f=codecs.open("test.html", 'r') print f.read() 

Try something like this.

Answer 2

I encountered this problem today as well. I am using Windows and the system language by default is Chinese. Hence, someone may encounter this Unicode error similarly. Simply add encoding = 'utf-8':

with open("test.html", "r", encoding='utf-8') as f:     text= f.read()
