Why unicode elements of lists would be hide?

Question

If I want to display Unicode elements as string correctly, why should I do, in the English language?

Could you convert my_list from Unicode to string? my_list=[[u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'An efficient genetic algorithm for large-scale planning of dense and robust industrial wireless networks', u'Gong, X., Plets, D., Tanghe, E., (...), Martens, L., Joseph, W.'] — hamed baziyad, Dec 25 '17 at 08:54

@hamedbaziyad Can you show your code trials? How is it related to `Selenium`? — DebanjanB, Dec 25 '17 at 09:24

I suppose you can encode each item one by one into utf-8 if thats what you wanted.

list = [u"hi",u"Whatever",u"Hello"]
map(lambda item: item.encode("utf-8"), list)

Outputs

['hi', 'Whatever', 'Hello']

See the following for more details on the map function. You can also just use python3 if thats an option.
