given a character like \"✮\" (\\xe2\\x9c\\xae), for example, can be others like \"Σ\", \"д\" or \"Λ\") I want to
✮
\\xe2\\x9c\\xae
Σ
д
Λ
You may try like this:
unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u'✮') len(u"✮")
UTF-8 is an unicode encoding which uses more than one byte for special characters. Check unicodedata.normalize()
