将 unicode 格式字符串转换为实际的 utf 字符串

Question

When I call an api, I get an output like this- \\\य\\\ह \\\उ\\\द\\\ा\\\ह\\\र\\\ण \\\प\\\ा\\\ठ

The utf encoding is stored as a string. So string[1] here would be 'u'. Anyone know how do I convert this into actual utf-8 string using python?

Answer 1

You can use the codecs module:

>>> s = "\\u092f\\u0939 \\u0909\\u0926\\u093e\\u0939\\u0930\\u0923 \\u092a\\u093e\\u0920"
>>> print(s)
\u092f\u0939 \u0909\u0926\u093e\u0939\u0930\u0923 \u092a\u093e\u0920

So:

>>> import codecs
>>> codecs.decode(s, 'unicode-escape')
'यह उदाहरण पाठ'
