I'm reading pickle file retrieved from some library. there were a lot of utf-8 characters stored in **unicode** string. For example:

```
u'\xc4\x91' #đ
u'\xc3\xad' #í
u'\xc3\u017d' #�\u017d
...

```

I can encode and display most of them using `raw_unicode_escape` 
However all the characters with `\u` escape like the third one above are not displayed properly: `�\u017d`. How can I fix that? 
**EDIT:**
Each string above should be a character

**EDIT 2: The code I use to read the file**

```
model_dir = '../../projects/python/test/model-5'
with open(model_dir, 'rb') as f:
    model = pickle.load(f)
seq = model.sequitur
rightI = seq.rightInventory
print repr(rightI.list) 

```

the result contains something similar to above examples
