2:39 - is it a characteristic of the encoding you used that you did s[0] but it printed the character that looks like a 'w' and is actually last in the string?

Sir how to find the number of bytes value in pythons (attribute value of series)...how the output gives values like 32bytes...etc plz explain

[angelicamatch]

sorry just went thru the vid again in full....and not sure why its able to print out the 2 byte characters if you set it to a varaible...and also so around 5minutes in till the end thats where its confsuing....not sure if i should try the method of setting ot to a varaible as you did and put in my code at the lines where i get the cant decode byte in cp is cp 1252 file involved anyway in my script decode issues/?...thnxz bit still very lost on this..even though i feel im actually understanding the different codings schemes

Excuse me sir, I have a question, What method can I use to let the b'\x00 \x00' convert to string and let it be '00' ?

[alessioandreoli]

Super interesting. But I didn't get how I can write a function that can read and properly encode any input from any language... Is that even possible?

[aaratidhungel]

sir how can we contvert utf-8 code into character ??

[angelicamatch]

i am still trying to print a charcter in the 2 byte range in python2 ..for arabic charcter(which for some reason i cant copy and paste here i dont know why)....but its the U+0626character and i cant encode it..so that it will print..i thought you can do .encode ('utf-8') or u(and the U+0626) and it wil print but i keep getting unsupported chaharcater
