In Python 3.x, byte strings and Unicode strings are separate data types, and it's important to be explicit when working with bytes to avoid encoding errors.

Learn to manage Unicode and byte strings in Python effectively for seamless data handling and avoid common pitfalls in text encoding and decoding.

I should add that a very large number of developers I've met (and taught) who use Python 2 are unaware that byte strings even exist. It's much more common to talk about them in Python 3, where they ...

For example, the emoji🌍 has a Unicode code point of 127757, and its UTF-8 encoding involves multiple bytes (240 in this case). This project is a basic demonstration of working with Unicode and UTF-8 ...
