I need to get characters from string "test?àâ". My output contains "�" in place of accented chracters. My python code is given below.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import unicodedata
s = 'test?àâ'

for c in s:
    print c

Output :

t
e
s
t
?
�
�
�
�

Define it as `s = u'test?àâ'` – Devesh Kumar Singh Jul 11 '19 at 07:47

You really should consider switching to Python 3, were this sort of thing works more intuitively. Perhaps see also http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html – tripleee Jul 11 '19 at 08:22
@tripleee I need to run this code on redshift and I think redshift doesn't support python 3 till now. – Tajinder Jul 11 '19 at 09:28
