<p>It's a simple recipe to convert a str type string with pure unicode code point (e.g string = <strong>"\u5982\u679c\u7231"</strong> ) to an unicode type string.
Actually, this method has the same effect with <strong>'u'</strong> prefix. But differently, it allows you to pass a variable of code points string as well as a constant one.</p>
