title: Convert from hex character to Unicode character in python
body: <p>The hex string <code>'\xd3'</code> can also be represented as: <code>Ó</code>. </p>
  
  <p>The easiest way I've found to get the character representation of the hex string to the console is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print unichr(ord('\xd3'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or in English, convert the hex string to a number, then convert that number to a unicode code point, then finally output that to the screen. This seems like an extra step. Is there an easier way?</p>
