We can get the string 你's unicode code point value:

u'你'.encode('unicode-escape')
b'\\u4f60'

Why the string in unicode form is not equal to its unicode code point value?

u'你'  ==  u'\x4f\x60'
False
u'你'  ==  u'\\u4f60'
False

CodePudding user response：

It is, but your comparison strings are not correct to compare. The first one is two separate characters of a single byte, and the second one has the backslash escaped, meaning that it is the literal 6 characters \u4f60.

u'你' == u"\u4f60"
True

The encoded byte string has the two backslashes since the encoding escapes it, making it not equivalent even if turned back into a string unless you decode it with unicode-escape as well.

Side note, the u is default in python 3.
