I’m writing a web crawler in python, and it involves taking headlines from websites.
One of the headlines should’ve read : And the Hip’s coming, too
But instead it said: And the Hip’s coming, too
What’s going wrong here?
You need to properly decode the source text. Most likely the source text is in UTF-8 format, not ASCII.
Because you do not provide any context or code for your question it is not possible to give a direct answer.
I suggest you study how unicode and character encoding is done in Python:
