What are some examples of string encoding in Python?

In Python, string encoding is the process of converting a string into bytes. Common examples include UTF-8, ASCII, and UTF-16. Would you like to see specific code examples?

Yes, please provide a UTF-8 encoding example.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

# Original string
original_string = 'Hello, World!'

# Encoding to UTF-8
encoded_string = original_string.encode('utf-8')
print(encoded_string)  # Output: b'Hello, World!'

What about decoding a UTF-8 string back to a regular string?

To decode a UTF-8 encoded string back to a regular string, you can use the decode method:

# Decoding back to string
decoded_string = encoded_string.decode('utf-8')
print(decoded_string)  # Output: Hello, World!
