Can't read a jpeg with skimage

Question

I'm trying to run this code but it does not work. google- I look, but I have not found the answer, but I look in vain here

from skimage import io
photo = io.imread('C:\Users\comp\Desktop\Urban.jpg')
type(photo)

The answer should be as follows: numpy.ndarray

Error:

(unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

Why did you tag this unicode? I don't see any apparent unicode peculiarities. — 9769953, Jun 20 '19 at 07:10
Is wrong. (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape — Արման Հարությունյան, Jun 20 '19 at 07:11
Please [edit] the full error (traceback) into your question. — 9769953, Jun 20 '19 at 07:12
Use forward slashes in your path: that's more uniform, and avoids issues such as `\U` being interpretated differently. — 9769953, Jun 20 '19 at 07:14

instead of single slash use double slash

from skimage import io
photo = io.imread('C:\\Users\\comp\\Desktop\\Urban.jpg')
type(photo)
