title: Python: Latex symbols to unicode?
body: <p>I have fond several answers hinting how to solve unicode to latex symbols conversion. For example turning <code>u'á'</code> into <code>\'{a}</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Well I need it the other way around! So I made some research and fond <a href="https://gist.github.com/798549" rel="nofollow">this dictionary</a>. Since the mapping seems to be bijective, I thought of turning the dictionary the other way around. But I can't figure out how to "use" the keys in this dictionary:</p>
  
  <pre><code>u"\u0020": "\\space ",
  u"\u0023": "\\#",
  u"\u0024": "\\textdollar ",
  u"\u0025": "\\%",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I turn them inside python to "human readable characters"?
  Is there mayhaps a better and more complete was to achieve my goal?</p>
