I have the following string that I am receiving via a python server. Do not have access to that server.

In reality, this should be floating point number after decoding.
How can I decode it? How to know the encoding of the string? Preferably using python !!
I tried chardet , decode('utf8') and what not !! Any help is appreciated.
After trying this >
c=a.decode('utf-16-be', errors='ignore').encode('ascii')
Got this >
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-199: ordinal not in range(128)
after trying this >>>
c=a.decode('utf-16-le').encode('ascii')
Got this >>>>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_16_le.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_16_le_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf16' codec can't decode byte 0x33 in position 470: truncated data
