How to print unicode-character-codes-stored-as-strings as human-readable text

Question

I have lots of unicode characters codes stored as strings in Python3, e.g.

unicode = '3077'

where U+3077 is ぷ. How do I print this as human-readable text? I.e. how do I convert the string unicode to unicode_as_text such that:

>>> print(unicode_as_text)
ぷ

That's not "unicode-stored-as-a-string". Unicode stored as a string would just be `'ぷ'`. — user2357112, Dec 18 '19 at 17:59
Thanks, changed to "unicode-character-codes-stored-as-strings". — Rob S, Dec 18 '19 at 18:01
The character you are seeing as the string is the human readable text. What are you expecting to see? https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3077/index.htm — Jortega, Dec 18 '19 at 18:06
The string I currently have is `'3077'`. I want to see `'ぷ'`. — Rob S, Dec 18 '19 at 18:08

Your string is the unicode codepoint represented in hexdecimal, so the character can be rendered by printing the result of calling chr on the decimal value of the code point.

>>> print(chr(int('3077', 16)))
ぷ
