Question

I have a set of unicode numbers , I need to convert them to UTF-8 and print the result in to split them in to hex values.

eg: Unicode 0x80 should be converted to UTF-8 and printed as (0xc2,0x80)

I tried following

str(unichr(0x80).encode('utf-8')).split(r'\x')[0]

But it does get split in to [‘c2′,’80’]. But it gives me [‘\xc2\x80’].

I need this for code generation.

Answer 1

To generate a list of the hexadecimal values of the characters in your UTF8-encoded string, use the following:

>>> [hex(ord(x)) for x in unichr(0x80).encode('utf-8')]
['0xc2', '0x80']
