There is a way to transform string to unicode string in python?-CodePudding

in python i need to transform particular string where some character need to be transformed in unicode sintax. For example:

"Città"->"Citt\u00E0"

I need a string in the second form in order to print it on a file.

I've tried some function but the problem i have now is that the string must be transform in the following way

"Citt\xe0"->"Citt\u00E0"

there is a way to perform this transformationa and the reverse operation?

I can understand that you want to print \u00EO in a file literally. Here is a sample program that, looks if ord of character is >127, and if so converts it to the format you wanted.
In this example sample.txt will have output as. Hope this heps Cittàá Citt\u00E0\u00E1

with   open("sample.txt","w") as fd:
    my_var='Citt\xe0\xe1'
    final_str = [my_var[idx] if ord(my_var[idx]) <= 127 else "\\u00" str(hex(ord(my_var[idx]))).replace("0x","").capitalize()  for idx in range(len(my_var))]
    val="".join(final_str)
    fd.write(my_var "\n")
    fd.write(val)

The following (partially commented) script could help:

import re

x = "\\x66
