python

Hello, i have just known Python for few days. Unicode seems to be a problem with Python.

i have a text file stores a text string like this

'\u0110\xe8n \u0111\u1ecf n\xfat giao th\xf4ng Ng\xe3 t\u01b0 L\xe1ng H\u1ea1'

i can read the file and print the string out but it displays incorrectly. How can i print it out to screen correctly as follow:

"Ðèn d? nút giao thông Ngã tu Láng H?"

Thanks in advance
