ftfy is designed to fix problems that were introduced by handling Unicode
incorrectly. It might be able to fix the bytes you just handed it, but the
fact that you just gave a pile of bytes to a function that fixes text means
that your code is *also* handling Unicode incorrectly.
ftfy takes Unicode text as input. You should take these bytes and decode
them from the encoding you think they are in. If you're not sure what encoding
they're in:
- First, try to find out. 'utf-8' is a good assumption.
- If the encoding is simply unknowable, try running your bytes through
ftfy.guess_bytes. As the name implies, this may not always be accurate.
If you're confused by this, please read the Python Unicode HOWTO:
http://docs.python.org/%d/howto/unicode.html

def fix_encoding(text):
r"""
Fix text with incorrectly-decoded garbage ("mojibake") whenever possible.
This function looks for the evidence of mojibake, formulates a plan to fix
it, and applies the plan. It determines whether it should replace nonsense
sequences of single-byte characters that were really meant to be UTF-8
characters, and if so, turns them into the correctly-encoded Unicode
character that they were meant to represent.
The input to the function must be Unicode. If you don't have Unicode text,
you're not using the right tool to solve your problem.
`fix_encoding` decodes text that looks like it was decoded incorrectly. It
leaves alone text that doesn't.
>>> print(fix_encoding('único'))
único
>>> print(fix_encoding('This text is fine already :þ'))
This text is fine already :þ
Because these characters often come from Microsoft products, we allow
for the possibility that we get not just Unicode characters 128-255, but
also Windows's conflicting idea of what characters 128-160 are.
>>> print(fix_encoding('This — should be an em dash'))
This — should be an em dash
We might have to deal with both Windows characters and raw control
characters at the same time, especially when dealing with characters like
0x81 that have no mapping in Windows. This is a string that Python's
standard `.encode` and `.decode` methods cannot correct.
>>> print(fix_encoding('This text is sad .â\x81”.'))
This text is sad .⁔.
However, it has safeguards against fixing sequences of letters and
punctuation that can occur in valid text. In the following example,
the last three characters are not replaced with a Korean character,
even though they could be.
>>> print(fix_encoding('not such a fan of Charlotte Brontë…”'))
not such a fan of Charlotte Brontë…”
This function can now recover some complex manglings of text, such as when
UTF-8 mojibake has been normalized in a way that replaces U+A0 with a
space:
>>> print(fix_encoding('The more you know 🌠'))
The more you know 🌠
Cases of genuine ambiguity can sometimes be addressed by finding other
characters that are not double-encoded, and expecting the encoding to
be consistent:
>>> print(fix_encoding('AHÅ™, the new sofa from IKEA®'))
AHÅ™, the new sofa from IKEA®
Finally, we handle the case where the text is in a single-byte encoding
that was intended as Windows-1252 all along but read as Latin-1:
>>> print(fix_encoding('This text was never UTF-8 at all\x85'))
This text was never UTF-8 at all…
The best version of the text is found using
:func:`ftfy.badness.text_cost`.

literals.

"unicode-escape" to work correctly.

This function identifies sequences where information has been lost in
a "sloppy" codec, indicated by byte 1A, and if they would otherwise look

A further explanation:
ftfy can now fix text in a few cases that it would previously fix
incompletely, because of the fact that it can't successfully apply the fix
to the entire string. A very common case of this is when characters have
been erroneously decoded as windows-1252, but instead of the "sloppy"
windows-1252 that passes through unassigned bytes, the unassigned bytes get
turned into U+FFFD (<28>), so we can't tell what they were.
This most commonly happens with curly quotation marks that appear
``“ like this â€<C3A2>``.
We can do better by building on ftfy's "sloppy codecs" to let them handle
less-sloppy but more-lossy text. When they encounter the character ``<60>``,
instead of refusing to encode it, they encode it as byte 1A -- an
ASCII control code called SUBSTITUTE that once was meant for about the same
purpose. We can then apply a fixer that looks for UTF-8 sequences where
some continuation bytes have been replaced by byte 1A, and decode the whole
sequence as <20>; if that doesn't work, it'll just turn the byte back into <20>
itself.
As a result, the above text ``“ like this â€<C3A2>`` will decode as
``“ like this <20>``.
If U+1A was actually in the original string, then the sloppy codecs will
not be used, and this function will not be run, so your weird control
character will be left alone but wacky fixes like this won't be possible.
