    Did you try [reading the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html)? – Karl Knechtel May 30 '20 at 06:56
  • Python accepts utf-8 by default. You likely can just put `'[﴾]'` in your code. – tdelaney May 30 '20 at 07:13
  • `\ufd3e` works, but no need for square brackets, which means "choose one of", when you only have one character. For that matter, no need for a regular expression at all. Just use `new_data = new_data.replace('\ufd3e',' ')`. – Mark Tolonen May 30 '20 at 09:56

you need to use \u to tell it it is unicode (and you had a closing parenthesis in the wrong place)

new_data = t = re.sub(u'[\ufd3e]',' ',new_data)
