title: Python and string accents
body: <p>I am making a web scraper.<br>
  I access google search, I get the link of the web page and then I get the contents of the <code>&lt;title&gt;</code> tag.<br>
  The problem is that, for example, the string <code>"P\xe1gina N\xe3o Encontrada!"</code> should be <code>"Página Não Encontrada!"</code>.
  I tried do decode to latin-1 and then encode to utf-8 and it did not work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    r2 = requests.get(item_str)
      texto_pagina = r2.text
      soup_item = BeautifulSoup(texto_pagina,"html.parser")
      empresa = soup_item.find_all("title")
      print(empresa_str.decode('latin1').encode('utf8'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can you help me, please?
  Thanks !</p>
