I have a file that has random unicode characters in it and I would like to un-escape them. For example, \uE0001 would become uE0001 and \uFEFF would become uFEFF. So far, I have:
with open(path, encoding="utf-8") as f:
s = f.read()
s = s.replace("\\u", "u")
with open(fpath, "w"):
f.write(s)
But that gives the error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\ufeff' in position 0: character maps to <undefined>
Either I did something wrong when replacing so there are still unicode characters, or python is still trying to encode it. What did I do wrong here, and how can I get a working program?
