title: Trying to remove character EM DASH "—" (â€”) in python using regex
body: <p>I got this stubborn EM DASH character that I'm trying to remove using regex, but for some reason I can't get it to work. This is the code I'm using. </p>
  
  <pre><code>editedSource = re.sub(r'\u2014','',str(source))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong here? I'm pretty sure I got the right character code. Here's the character:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>—</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and it shows up like </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>â€”</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
