title: Handling non-standard American English Characters and Symbols in a CSV, using Python
body: <p>I have a list of store names, with a few thousand names, some of which have non-standard American English characters that are posing a problem. </p>
  
  <p>For example, my input file looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>store_name
  yéché
  Ázak
  ótndle
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want the output file to actually look like this (I think Googledocs made this happen, btw):</p>
  
  <pre><code>store_name  new_store_name 
  yéché       yÃ©chÃ©
  Ázak        Ãzak
  ótndle      Ã³tndle 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are only about 10 such rules that convert the non-standard American English character into this format, so I went through and did control f in excel to make them. But I'd like to be able in the future to do things like this computationally, and was just wondering if there is a quick way of doing this using Python.  To be clear, what I want to do is make:</p>
  
  <pre><code>é become Ã©
  Á become Ãi
  </code></pre>
