title: Converting byte string in unicode string
body: <p>I have a code such that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = "\u0432"
  b = u"\u0432"
  c = b"\u0432"
  d = c.decode('utf8')
  
  print(type(a), a)
  print(type(b), b)
  print(type(c), c)
  print(type(d), d)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;class 'str'&gt; в
  &lt;class 'str'&gt; в
  &lt;class 'bytes'&gt; b'\\u0432'
  &lt;class 'str'&gt; \u0432
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why in the latter case I see a character code, instead of the character?
  How I can transform Byte string to Unicode string that in case of an output I saw the character, instead of its code?</p>
