@JeMunos Python 2 Unicode strings have the u in their prefix.
The u is not part of the string itself, it's just the way to tell Python the string is an unicode string.

However in Python 3 Unicode handling is much nicer and doesn't have that kind of confusion.

Unicode in Python 3: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/unicode.html

Does that makes sense ?
I'll close this issue, feel free to re-open if that doesn't answer your question.
