Literal strings are unicode by default in Python3.

Assuming that text is a bytes object, just use text.decode('utf-8')

unicode of Python2 is equivalent to str in Python3, so you can also write:

str(text, 'utf-8')

if you prefer.

In a Python 2 program that I used for many years there was this line   ocd i  namn unicode a  b    utf-8     This did not work in Python 3   However  the program turned out to work with   ocd i  namn a  b    I don t remember why I put unicode there in the first place  but I think it was because the name can contains Swedish letters               But even they work without  unicode
