python reverse unicode text into readable

Question

i believe i have similar problem to this how to convert unicode text to utf8 text readable? but i want a python 3.7 solution to it

i am a complete newbie, i have some experience with python so i am trying to use it to make a script that will convert a Unicode file into the previous readable text it was. the file is a bookmark file i have recovered using easeusa then i opened the bookmark file and it is writen in unicode something like "&PŽ¾³kÊ k-7ÄÜÅe–?XBdyÃ8ß¯r×»Êã¥bÏñ ¥»X§ÈÕÀ¬Zé‚1öÄEdýŽ‹€†.c" whereas previously is said something like " "checksum": "112d56adbd0caa2b3693bb0442dd16ff", "roots": { "bookmark_bar": { "children":"

fyi when i click save as for the unicode bookmark file, for unicode it has ANSI and not utf-8 maybe it was saved us ANSI, i might be waffling here but i'm just trying to give you all the information you might need to help me i am a newbie who depressingly need help

This text isn't "Unicode". It's simply gibberish.

This file has been corrupted -- it may have been overwritten with other data before you were able to recover it. It is unlikely to be recoverable.

but how come the file still has the same size file as before? – CID Mar 16 '19 at 20:24
Because that's how large your recovery tool made it. – Mar 16 '19 at 20:36
