title: How can I resolve a Unicode error from read_csv?
body: <p>This is my first time working on a python project outside of school, so bear with me.</p>
  
  <p>When I run the code below, I get the error</p>
  
  <p>"(unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated\uXXXXXXXX escape"</p>
  
  <p>and the IDLE editor highlights the '(' before the argument of pd.read_csv.</p>
  
  <p>I googled the error but got a lot of stuff that went way over my head.</p>
  
  <p>The csv file in question is an excel file i saved as csv. should i save it some other way?</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  field = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\Glen\Documents\Feild.csv")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just want to convert my excel data into a data frame and I don't understand why it was so easy in class, and it's now so difficult on my home pc.</p>
