How to convert encoded unicode to readable unicode [duplicate]

Question

I'm so lost on this topic that I don't even know how to properly phrase my question.

I have a bunch of weird escape delimited codes within unicode in python. I want to make it human readable. I believe that it must be once again be in unicode format because there are characters unrepresentable in ascii. How can I do this? There are simply too many things online like encode, decode, str, codec, etc etc that i'm not sure what to do anymore.

Thank you.

I believe you've got your hands on some Persian!

>>> foo = u"\u202e\u062c\u0647\u0627\u0646\u202c - \u202dBBC  \u202e\u0641\u0627\u0631\u0633\u06cc\u202c - \u202e\u0646\u0634\u0633\u062a
>>> print foo

Stackoverflow's codeblock feature doesn't seem to like a combination of left-/right-aligned text very well, so here's a screenshot aswell:

It seems to be something about BBC World Persian (Iran). Atleast that's what Google translate indicates. It is horribly hard to get the order right because of broken selection, but the language seems to fit.
