title: Convert Unicode to UTF-8 Python
body: <p>I am working with a database that has throughout it scattered characters like this: â€™. I need to take this from the database, convert it to UTF-8, and then import it into a different database, using python. When printed to the Windows Command Prompt, these characters look like this: \xe2\u20ac\u2122. I have tried various combinations of .decode(), .encode(), and unicode() to convert the data, but Im really stuck.</p>
