Python中的UTF-8解码错误

Question

I'm trying to do this in Python: 'Fi\\xc3\\xb1a'.decode('utf-8')

I expect the result to be Fiña . But the result is actually: u'Fi\\xf1a'

No idea what is going on, some help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

You're getting the correct result, the Unicode codepoint for ñ is U+00f1. It's just that Python won't display the Unicode character directly. Try it in a print statement and see what you get.
